Virignin-La Balme Footbridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

I know there is already a highlight with that name. However, the GPS signal sometimes leads over the water and does not hit the exact position. I hope that it will be better if the highlight is defined as a section.
In any case, this bridge is a great building that fits very well into this great project "Via Rhôna"!
