We offer snowmobile and pedestrian tour to Devils and Witches bridges.
Both bridges
attract thousands of tourists from all regions of Russia. Because they are
historical monuments, they bear mystical names and are one of the highest on
Sakhalin.
The so-called
Sakhalin's Devil's Bridge is in the vicinity of the Nikolaychuk station in the
Kholmsk district. A unique railway structure was built by the Japanese in the
1920s. The train drove along this road through two tunnels, traveled almost to
the top of the hill and passed along the built Chertov Bridge at an altitude of
38 meters, from which you can see the most beautiful panorama of the island
nature.
The tunnel and
bridge were built by the Japanese in the 1920s. The tunnel is almost 900 meters
long and inside the mountain makes a whole circle. The upper part of the tunnel
goes directly above the entrance to it. This is a unique engineering structure,
considering that in the 1920s there were no gps and modern ways of taking into
account the situation in space.
A few kilometers
from the Devil's Bridge is the Witch's Bridge. Built by the Japanese in 1928.
It was part of the railway line Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk-Polyakovo. The bridge is a
complex engineering structure, attracts its length of 200 meters and a height
of 50 meters. In 1994 the traffic on the bridge was closed due to the closure
of the line. In 2007, due to a forest fire, part of the bridge suffered.
Eating for a day, water / tea.
