Tentena Bridge & Eel Traps
Jembatan Pamona
A long covered wooden bridge across the Poso River outlet, with V-shaped bamboo and timber eel traps in the river below, a century-old eel-catching tradition.
Tentena Bridge spans the point where Lake Poso flows into the Poso River and extends over 200 metres. Its roofed wooden structure is a symbol of the town, and locals gather on it in the evenings to cool off and fish. Beneath the bridge, large V-shaped traps made of bamboo, timber and stones line the riverbed. Fishermen exploit the eels' habit of migrating into the river, a practice that has continued for a century, and eel is a local speciality. At the end of the bridge, restaurants serve grilled eel and fried lake fish. The original wooden bridge was rebuilt in recent years in its original style. There is no charge, and it is open at all times.
