Widest waterfall and longest brick bridge in Europe! Located in ???????? Kuldiga, Latvia
Venta Rapid (Latvian: Ventas rumba) is a waterfall on the Venta River in Kuldiga, Latvia. It is the widest waterfall in Europe at 249 metres (817 ft), and becomes as wide as 270 metres (886 ft) during spring floods. The height of the falls vary from 1.80 to 2.20 metres (5 ft 11 in to 7 ft 3 in) depending on the level of water in the river.
Folk legend tells the origin of the waterfall as follows. At location where the Kata Hut now stands, once lived a sorcerer who was angry with the devil himself and had intention to take revenge. Devil used to sleep at the witch's hut, and one night he'd collect a bag of stones and fly through Venta. But the sorcerer made rooster to sang morning song. The vilage roosters chanted and sang too. So devil was frightened and spilled stones across the river. So a threshold was formed. Another legend attributes the formation of the waterfall to the work Livonian Knights, who mined the stones for the construction of castles. The stones were indeed mined, but much later, at the time of the Duke of Courland, and in insignificant amount.
240 m from the waterfall is located the famous Kuldiga brick bridge. It was built in 1874 and is the longest operating brick bridge in Europe. Built to the building standards of the time it's wide enough for two carriages to pass. Its width is 8 m and its length is 164 m. It was modeled after the bridge on Moselle river in Germany that was erected at the time of Roman Empire. Kuldiga brick bridge was renovated in 2008 and is now in operation.
