Guided Story

Imagine standing on a bridge that has stood the test of time for over a century. Look up – those intricate stone carvings are like whispers of history. This bridge earned its name from a legend that says the devil himself helped build it overnight, demanding the first soul to cross it in return. But the clever townsfolk sent a dog across, tricking the devil and sending him away in a rage. Behind you, you'll spot the Stadium of Friendship, and off to the east, the Weinberg Tower peers over the landscape. Ahead lies the bridge, a pathway that connects you to the past.
