Natural bridge next to the Banita Stone Quarry (13th September 2015 - 12 photos) 48.76 km away
Although the Banita Stone Bridge is not far from the road that passes through the village, it is located beyond the railway line, so its approach is a bit cumbersome. We can go around the railway line on Carierei Street, and then we have to walk a few meters from the stone quarry.
