We expected this to be a covered wooden bridge and were looking forward to sheltering from the rain in it, but alas, this modern wooden bridge does NOT provide cover from rain.

We were soaked to the bone when we arrived, so we didn't do the tour, but it's a neat little place to see, even if you're just biking through.
