Franschhoek line - Berg River Bridge

Post by Marius Avenant »

A last look (maybe) at this bridge. I noticed another smaller girder bridge crossing a much smaller stream closer to the Stellenbosch turn-off, and will try and get to it soon. Will first have to find out whose property I have to cross to get to it :) These old bridges sure have a presence - solid as the mountains.
