So, the big hubbup here is that there's three bridges built on each other. The earliest built was bloody 1075 i think, so it's a bit old.
Story goes that it was built by the devil because no mortal could have pulled it off back then.
Apparently the devil cut a deal, he'd build the bridge in exchange for the first soul that crossed it.
Here's the funny part, he built the bridge and a cheeky old duck chucked a bit of bread across and her dog chased after it. So the ticked off devil is left with a dog's soul!
Dogs are the best people though, so who'd be dark on having a Bork to hang out with

There was actually a pretty creepy vibe there, shithot joint though.

Big old drop into the drink, wouldn't wanna take a tumble, the water was crazy

You could take a walk around the place, the stairs are so mental steep that they had to install these bloomn rails so that if you fell, you'd only semi die, not perma die. The photos don't do it justice, it's bloody crackers

Mental views

With waterfalls n all that cool shit

There are tales of highway bandits who hung out there. They ended up robbing the wrong birds, after that they retreated into the hills n hung out in a cave til the blokes in town got word of where they were. The guys ended up burning em out of the cave, bit of a shootout, the rest is history.

I rekn I'm a pretty level headed bloke, but jeez i got the heeby jeebies in this joint. I really got the feeling that something didn't want me there, it was awesome!

Anyway, Devils bridge, check it out

***!!! EDIT !!!*** I went to Italy too, sweet joint! http://imgur.com/a/85gDs

"Shit hot joint" haha take my upvote and toss it off the bridge into to the abyss

My only point of reference for that place is the show "Hinterland" it's on Netflix for the curious. A very good British crime drama.

Novgorod ("New City") was founded in the 900s. Oxford was founded sometime around 1100-ish. Both are older than the Aztec Empire.

We have a devils bridge here in Switzerland too and the story is kinda the same (with the first soul and it being an animal). 1/3

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

But here it was a goat the sent over. And when the devil got angry because he was tricked, he threw a big boulder at the poeple. 2/3

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

And that boulder still lies there and is now the center of a roundabout. It's interesting that the same story is told in different places.

interesting is also, in switzerland its also a double-bridge: http://i1.trekearth.com/photos/35411/teufelsbruecke.jpg
