Yeongju Museom Single Log Bridge was the village’s only connection to the outside world for over 350 years before the construction of Sudo Bridge in 1979.

The Single Log Bridgeis a tiny bridge only 23-centimeters/9-inches wide, but it stretches for over 150-meters/492-feet. It is said that the bridge was rebuilt annually after being damaged each rainy season. With the construction of Sudo Bridge, the Single Log Bridge was no longer needed, but was rebuilt some time later in its original form as an historical attraction.

The path of the bridge is determined by the depth of the water at the point where it meanders across the river. To celebrate the bridge’s storied history, each year the Oenamu Dari Festival (literally, “Single Log Bridge Festival”) is held here in October.
