Road access

From the village of Olmi-Cappella, you must take the D 693 road towards the Tartagine forest: the road-trip takes 30 minutes for about 20 kilometres. You could park your car on a small car park which is located right next to the bridge.

Description

This Genoese bridge overlooks a natural pool that can be easily reached thanks to a path which begins at the end of the car park: you will reach your destination in less than two minutes.
If you prefer walking then you can reach this bridge from the village of Mausoleo. This walking is quite easy because the path is well-maintained and well-marked, but you should be prepared for a long walk. If you want to attempt the feat, then you should wear a good pair of walking shoes and have a good supply of water. If you have children or if you are not particularly athletic, then you should make some stops along the way. During this walk you will run into two Genoese bridges. The first bridge is surrounded by trees and it overlooks the Francioni stream; the second one is the bridge of the Tartagine and it overlooks a natural pool of crystal-clear water. If you are sensitive to the cold then you could have some problems swimming in this natural pool!
The valley of Tartagine represents an ideal place for all those who are looking for peace and tranquillity. This region is quite isolated and wild: there is only one road which goes through the forest, which is made up of maritime pines and larch pines. This forest is part of a natural area of ecological, faunal and floristic interest.
