Read the riddle below and see if you can guess. Hint: If 

you’re well acquainted with Eastern European culture and traditions,

you’ll probably know the answer.

Here's the riddle -

Past the old stones, all secrets hide,

Where time and truth humble pride—

Honest stories, meant to share

Though “lying down” releases care.

Through ancient arches and cobblestone street,

Past hidden courtyards where I retreat,

Medieval walls still hold my heart,

Where artisans practice their old art.

In Eastern lands where legends grow,

Where Saxon dreams still linger low,

In ancient buildings, eyes are shown

Where tales of truth are etched in stone

The sunbeams play in rooftop tiles

While narrow streets go on for miles

Where lies become eventual traps

And iron crumbles into collapse

Answer to Riddle

This rhythmic riddle tells the story of Sibiu, a town in Romania and

its interesting landmark, The Bridge of Lies.

The Bridge of Lies (Podul Minciunilor în Romanian) is a beautiful landmark in the old town of Sibiu, a medieval city in the heart of Transylvania, Romania. It’s the first iron bridge in Romania and an important part of the country’s architectural and engineering history. 

The name of the bridge has generated many local legends and folklore, so many stories have been passed down through generations of Sibiu's residents. These stories have turned what would be a simple pedestrian crossing into a symbol of the city’s culture and tradition. Locals warn not to tell a lie while crossing the bridge, or it will collapse.

However, some state the “Bridge of Lies” refers to “lying down,” not merely “lying” or being untruthful. Nevertheless, most believe it’s best to “honestly” cross the bridge if you choose to walk over it.
