Gkikas’s Mill bridge, Krania, Aspropotamos, Greece
Показать описание
Loud murmur of the river's water is audible.
The bridge is located near Kraniá (aka Kranéa or “La Kornu“), a village in high altitude near Trikala, Greece. The bridge is arched, made of stones, 20 metre (66 ft) long and 2.7 m (9 ft) wide. The bridge was constructed in 1887 and spans the Kraniótikos river or stream that is a tributary of Aspropótamos.
Aspropótamos (Greek for “White River”) is the locally used toponym for the 2nd largest Greek river, aka “Achelōos.” Achelōos runs for 220 km (137 mi) prior to disgorging its waters into the Ionian Sea. The precipitous flow of the river causes its crystal-clear waters to splash and foam over the many stones scattered throughout the river bed; the White River toponym emanates from the white foam occurring all along the river.
Achelōos was worshipped as a god in ancient Greece (son of Ocean and Tēthys or Ocean and Naïás according to myths and legends).
The precise longitude and latitude of the bridge are:
39° 36' 49.296" North
21° 21' 26.934" East
Altitude: 1.179,7 m (3,870.4 ft)
