This is a masterpiece of ingenuity. The roots of the trees (Fiscus Elasticus) were teased and trained across the river over many years until they grew into the earth on the other side. This one does it at 2 different heights creating a double decker bridge. This bridge is about 100-150 years old and getting stronger by the day. It's expected to survive about 600-700 years. A true wonder.
