Its story
The Buzlupınar Bridge, in the village of Buzlupınar in Çayeli, crosses the Senoz (Sabuncular) Deresi and is one of the few wooden bridges left in the region. The bridge, made of chestnut wood, is known to have been rebuilt after a fire in 1906; it was restored between 2012 and 2016. About 40 m long and 2.2 m wide, the bridge crosses about 35 m above the stream. An interesting feature of the structure is that the span of about 21.8 meters between its two piers is reduced to 13.5 meters by cantilever beams extended from both sides. With its wooden load-bearing elements, it is a good example of the Black Sea's traditional bridge-building technique.
