Its story
The Şenyuva Bridge crosses the Fırtına Deresi in the village of Şenyuva (formerly Çinçiva), about 7 km from the Çamlıhemşin center. Known to have been built in 1696, the bridge is counted among the region's oldest stone arch bridges. The arch of the single-span bridge, about 40 m long and 20 m above the stream level, is slightly pointed in the middle. It is reported that the bridge's inscription was lost in the flood of 1946. With its stone houses and narrow paths, the village of Şenyuva forms, together with the bridge, one of the iconic views of the Fırtına Valley; it can easily be visited on the way to Zilkale.
