Safety warning
Its story
The Çağlayan Bridge is about 8 km from central Fındıklı, over the Çağlayan Deresi (Çağlayan Stream), which forms one of the district's greenest valleys. The arch of the bridge, about 27 m long, 13 m high and 2.4 m wide, is of cut stone, and its side walls and piers of rubble stone; its deck is paved with flat stream stones. Although it is thought, based on an inscription on a stone, to have been completed in 1924, local people report that this date is that of the repair of the bridge after it was destroyed by a flood. The bridge is the focal point of a short trip in the Çağlayan Valley.
