The Bridgehunter’s Chronicles features a pocket tour guide featuring communities and regions where historic bridges are plentiful in number and can be seen. Regardless of whether they are located in big cities like Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Berlin or even Copenhagen, or in districts or states, such as Indiana, Iowa, Schleswig-Holstein or even Saxony, the this page features tour guides of places with bridges to see (with pictures, links and information) in the US, Europe and beyond. It also features regions where historic bridges were once plentiful but have disappeared or are dwindling in numbers rapidly. All articles and tour guides are courtesy of the author and his contributors. Many of them are first and second place finishers of the Othmar H. Ammann Awards for the Tour Guide category, while a few of them won the Author’s Choice Awards.
As the number of tour guides increase continuously, stop here on a regular basis to plan your bridgehunting tour to a region of interest. 🙂
