Travel Ukraine - Viaduct in Krovynka

The term Viaduct came from Latin. Via means road, and duco - to lead.

Definition of Viaduct: a long elevated roadway usually consisting of a series of short spans supported on arches, piers, or columns. At first, it refered to Roman road that runs above the gorge and usually bases on the supporting arch.

The construction of railways and roads in Western Ukraine matched the times of rule of Austro-Hungarian Empire. Some unique and famous stone bridges were part of Transcarpathian railway that connected Vienna and Budapest with the Eastern Carpathians. They are still in a good condition despite of the minimum care.

But not only Carpathians bridges are worth to be a tourist and historical attractions.

At the photographs it is a railway bridge in Krovynka village, Ternopil region, Western Ukraine. They were taken in June 2018. We deviated a bit from our route to see it. There were other cars stopped near it. But all those people came there for picking mushrooms, and just the two of us (my husband and I) to take a photo :)
