Part 2 – the iconic structures from the western slavdom area and those that inspired them AB - In the second part of this article, the development of the timber bridges is shown in detail in relation to the historical and cultural contexts specific to different regions subjectively selected from around the world. For such a purpose, some iconic timber bridges are presented and discussed on a country by country basis.
