Its story
The Çifte Köprü consists of two stone arches set at right angles to each other where the Kamilet and Durğuna streams meet. As there is no inscription, the construction date is not known for certain; researchers date it to the Ottoman period, the 18th century, while some sources suggest the 19th century. Built of rubble and cut stone, the narrow bridges were repaired in 2002 and today are used only by pedestrians; the modern road passes a little higher up. The bridges are the first stop on the road leading to the ancient forests of the Kamilet Valley and Mençuna Waterfall. The Dikyamaç Village and Surroundings Lifestyle Museum is on the same route.
