Piano Bridge, 19th century metal bridge in Dubina, Texas
Piano Bridge spans across the East Navidad River with a main length of 79 feet and features a classic Pratt through truss design pattern.
The King Iron Bridge Company from Cleveland constructed this metal bridge in 1885, implementing their specialized engineering techniques for transportation infrastructure.
The bridge earned its name from the musical sounds produced when vehicles cross over its metal deck, creating a connection between infrastructure and local folklore.
Located at coordinates 29.788327, -96.894532, visitors can reach Piano Bridge by following County Road 480 past Saints Cyril and Methodius Church.
The structure underwent a complete restoration in 2012 using hot riveting techniques to maintain its original materials while ensuring modern safety standards.

This collection brings together locations that challenge the norms of conventional tourism. It offers the chance to discover places where nature, history, and human activities have created astonishing sites: a complex of 732 unfinished villas in Turkey, a Mexican island where hundreds of dolls are hung in trees, a Canadian lake with mineral-formed multicolored basins, and a Polish forest of 400 pines with mysteriously bent trunks facing north. The route also includes unique human-made creations, such as an art installation representing an isolated Prada store in the Texas desert, or the Japanese village of Nagoro where an artist populated the streets with 350 dolls after the residents left. Geological phenomena are also featured, including Darvaza crater in Turkmenistan, which has been burning continuously since 1971, the Great Blue Hole in Belize, a 124-meter-deep underwater cavity, and Colombia’s Caño Cristales river that changes color to red, yellow, and green from July to November. These destinations provide a different perspective on our planet and invite exploration of lesser-known facets of our world.
