| Here lie the remains of the "Japanese bridge" - click pic for album Click here for the geotrack of the hike |
Another geocache inspired hike, this is a relatively easy 2 km round trip hike to the remains of a WWII Japanese built railroad bridge. Along the way you see some remains of the wooden cross beams (the iron tracks are long gone) and occasionally you can find a rusty spike. At the main river the concrete trestle bases are still there with a bit of wood still inside rotting away. The hike path along the old track has been almost entirely reclaimed by nature. Ildiko and Iris didn't make it to the bridge as Iris had a slip on the red earth back where we parked the jeep. Miss K and I (on my recently surgically repaired knee) made the trek and were rewarded with some gorgeous vistas. We all return here a couple of months later (november 2nd, to be precise).
