5 unique bridges where you will want to take a selfie

The bridges that this post deals with are more than just a connecting link between two shores. They have become an emblem of the city in which they are located and even authentic works of art. They all have in common the defiance of the laws of gravity and their perfect integration with the surrounding landscape. Do not miss, below, 5 very photogenic bridges where you will want to take a selfie.

Moses Bridge (Holland)

It is no coincidence that this Dutch bridge was called the Moses Bridge because its presence has split the waters of the Halsteren Canal in two.

The Moses Bridge was built to link two banks of the West Brabant Water Line, a defense line made up of a series of XNUMXth century fortresses and towns with floodplains. For this reason, it was essential that the bridge did not break the beautiful landscape full of vegetation in which it was to be installed.

The builders of the Moses Bridge concluded that it was best to lay a waterproof wooden walkway under the water level. The result is brilliant as it not only does its job but also produces a unique optical effect. The sensation is that of walking through the waters like Moses himself.

Tatton Park Bridge (UK)

If in the previous case the visitor can walk through the waters like Moses in his flight from Egypt, in this case he can feel like a bird suspended in the air. This peculiar bridge in Tatton Park in Knutsford in England is the work of the French artist Olivier Grossetête. To achieve the desired light effect, he used three huge white helium balloons that float a rope bridge over the lake, which is surrounded by a delicate Japanese garden.

Zhangjiajie Bridge of Glass (China)

The taste for mega-constructions in China is well known. The objective is not only to show the power of national engineering but to create structures worthy of becoming mass tourist attractions.

Zhangjiajie is the longest glass bridge on the planet as it is 430 meters long and 300 meters high. It is located within the Zhangjiajie Natural Park, in the province of Hunan, which has been recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1992, being one of the most visited in China.

This glass bridge cost 3.400 billion dollars, a figure as dizzying as the height at which it is located. Once the vertigo problems have been overcome, it is best to take a photograph lying on one of the glass plates that make it up. The result is super impressive because its glass floor allows one to believe that one is walking on air.

New Bridge of Ronda (Spain)

The Puente Nuevo de Ronda is the emblem of this inland Malaga town to which more visitors come every year. Built between 1571 and 1793 in the shape of an aqueduct with stone masonry, its route serves to link the two most important neighborhoods of the municipality: the city (of Arab origin) and the market. From it you can see other wonders of Ronda such as the Hanging Houses or the Tajo de Ronda.

This is the most visited place in the entire province of Malaga as the city seems to be hanging from the sky. It is a gorge almost one hundred meters deep, excavated by the Guadalevín river, on which the New Bridge stands., an imposing building 70 meters long and 98 meters high, which took more than 40 years to build due to the dangerous terrain.

As a curiosity, it is said that the architect who built the Puente Nuevo de Ronda, José Martín de Aldehuela, jumped into the Tagus from it when he realized that he would never be able to build something so beautiful again.

Capilano Suspension Bridge (Canada)

The Capilano Suspension Bridge is one of the most fun and iconic places in Vancouver. It is suspended over 70 meters high and has a length of 137 meters. It is characterized by its system of wooden walkways on a granite cliff of glacial origin.

The current Suspension Bridge is not the original one from 1889 but it has not stopped attracting visitors and curious. Perhaps it is the exciting sensation that one feels when being suspended in such a fragile way so many meters high next to one of the most beautiful landscapes of the Canadian city.
