This is probably the most beautiful bridge on the planet. The bridge is over 400 years old and looks unique over the turquoise Verzsaca River. In my opinion, it is a 100% must-see if you are traveling to the region. I would also recommend walking down to the river as the stones have a beautiful and unique texture and you will find many different perspectives.

However, as the bridge is of course a highlight, there can sometimes be quite a lot of tourists there. This is especially the case in the high season or at weekends and even more, when the weather is nice. In summer many people swim in the river or jump into the water from the bridge. Therefore, come here early in the morning or late in the evening, when it is much less busy (if the weather is bad during the week, you may also be lucky around noon).

if you want to walk along the river, you can, walk from the bridge to Corippo (it is also possible to take the bus back afterwards). check the hike
