    Hiking

    These bridges are still today operated exclusively by human energy. Introducing a crank in the center of the bridge, the bridge operator activates a toothed wheel which moves around a fixed crown. As soon as the bridge starts to turn, it rests solely on the central lens, a sort of bronze pivot 10 cm in diameter. The rotating bridge is therefore an astonishing example of balance.
