It was created by Ja Studio and Tadj-Farzin Studio and is part of the city's attempt to revive the city's [riverfront area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belvedere-park). At 150 meters long, the Maribor footbridge is nestled within a historic city district and provides walkers, runners and cyclists with their own exclusive crossing of the Drava river.
