Bridges as Geoheritage Viewpoints in the Western Caucasus

Research identifies bridges as valuable geoheritage viewpoints, offering unique perspectives of geological and geomorphological features that enhance comprehension and tourism. In the Western Caucasus, eleven bridges were assessed using a novel semiquantitative approach, revealing two with high utility for geotourism. While accessibility varies due to permissions and fees, these bridge-based viewpoints contribute significantly to optimal route planning and sustainable geotourism development.
