A century ago, hundreds of covered bridges crossed the rivers in the region. Most villages had at least one if not several. They scattered along the side roads, crossing streams and rivers of all sizes. Some of them are still in operation, but it is possible to walk through them and for others to contemplate them and learn more about their history and particularities.
