6 World’s Most Beautiful and Romantic Bridges

There is something mysterious and magical about bridges. They are as if meant for stealing a kiss, walking hand in hand, watching the sunrises and sunsets. Bridges connect the banks of the river or span a valley between two cliffs. Romantic natures see a symbolic meaning behind it. Bridges can be or seem dangerous, but when you walk on them with your significant other by your side, they automatically become safe. Many bridges have their own story, so a lot of legends are circulating around some of these structures. Anyway, lovebirds are perpetually attracted to bridges. We compiled a list of bridges that are both nice to look at and provide an amazing view of the scenery.

Rakotzbrücke is stashed in a small Rhododendronpark Kromlau in Germany, not far from the Polish border. What makes this bridge unique is that its arch is reflected on the water surface so you can see a perfect circle. It’s called the Devil’s Bridge because of its masonry structure, which was considered something supernatural, something that man’s hand can’t build. This fairytale-like spot will be a perfect one-day trip from Berlin or Dresden.

Although the bridge is quite young – it was built in 1987 – it has an ancient and fantastic ambiance. It is nicknamed as the “Fairy Walking Bridge” and for a reason. It sits high in the mountains and spans a short chasm between two tunnels carved in rocks. You have to go a long way up to get there but the view of the pillar-like rocks covered with greenery is definitely worth it.

The region of the Pindus Mountains in northwestern Greece is famous for its stone bridges. One of them is Plakidas Bridge or Kalogeriko. What makes it so special? It’s a three-stringer bridge that resembles a caterpillar. Surrounded by the mountains and pristine forests, it’s a perfect place to feel the harmony with nature. Initially, it was a wooden bridge, but in 1814 a monk named Seraphim changed it to a stone one. The name Kalogeriko means “monk’s”.
