Venta Brick Bridge
Kuldīgas ķieģeļu tilts
A red-brick arch bridge completed in 1874, about 164 metres long and one of the longest brick bridges of its kind in Europe, right beside the Venta Rapid.
The bridge has seven arches. Under the regulations of the time, two horse-drawn carriages could pass each other on it. Today only pedestrians and light vehicles are allowed. It is the best spot to take in the full panorama of the Venta Rapid, with the entire line of cascades visible to the south. Both ends connect to the old town and the Venta Valley walking trail. In summer, many people wade and swim on the riverbank below the bridge. Free admission.
