Travel Riddle of the Week: What Is this Landmark in Sibiu, Romania?
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.

Kamika added excursions that were the highlight of our trip. This was our first trip to Marrakesh and a high school best friends 20th year reunion. It was 8 girls and we didn’t know where to stay or what to do. Jamie found us a gorgeous Riad in the middle of town that had a full kitchen, terrace and accommodations for 10.
Each girl had their own bed. Kamika arranged for us to visit a hammam (never heard of before this trip) and have spa treatments. WOW! She also hired a private Moroccan chef to cook for us one night. All of our flights were coordinated and arrived the same day. Everything was well planned. Absolutely recommend Kamika.
