Devil's Bridge (Chyortov Most)
Чёртов мост
The remains of a curved railway bridge from the Japanese occupation period spanning a valley, with tunnels and viaducts among the trees, a popular hiking spot on the west coast.
Devil's Bridge is on the old mountain railway line to Kholmsk, built by Japan in the 1920s. The curved steel viaduct spans a deep valley, with several tunnels before and after it, and nearby is the 'Witch's Bridge'. The railway has long been closed, and hiking the old route round trip takes 2–3 hours. The bridge deck has rotted, so do not walk on it. It is about 50 km from the city and can be combined with the west-coast port town of Kholmsk in a day trip.
