Routhouni Bridge
Bumpy Ride
The road eventually becomes a track, but don't despair. We are nearly there now.
Pay Attention!
Now, when you get here, you need to pay attention. The bridge is on your left, but it is shrouded in trees.

This is an aerial shot, courtesy of our drone. You can also see a large pipe. You are more likely to spot this than the bridge itself.
Routhouni Bridge
And here is the bridge itself. It was built to link the villages of Amargeti and Eledio. The Frankian Period ran from 1192 to 1489, so it's looking good for its age.
Routhouni Bridge gets its name from the region it resides in. This is what the internet tells us:
First, going back a few years, the bridge got its name from the area that has the same name, thanks to two natural holes that are located in a rock and whenever it rained and the water passed from there. The older people of the region say that "the nostrils run".
The Nostrils
We've blogged about this area in the past. You can see links to them below the main article. In one of the articles we included the above picture. It sounds like the two natural holes mentioned above. We shall have to return in the next rainy season, to see if we can see the nostrils run.
