Dobra Bridge

Dobra Bridge is a reinforced concrete highway bridge spanning the Dobra River in the mountainous Gorski Kotar region of Croatia. The structure connects different areas across the river valley and allows traffic to pass over the waterway below.

An original steel lattice bridge built in 1875 by Czech engineer Josef Chvala connected regions along an early road route. The older structure was eventually replaced with a modern concrete version to meet the needs of contemporary traffic.

The bridge serves as a gathering point for kayaking and rafting enthusiasts who come to practice their skills on the river below. People use this location to experience water sports activities and connect with the natural flow of the waterway.

The bridge is accessible by foot or vehicle, offering views down into the river valley below. Visitors should exercise caution during wet weather, as surfaces can become slippery.

The river beneath the bridge disappears underground near a nearby city and reappears again further north. This geological feature shows how the water acts differently depending on the landscape through which it flows.
