MANGAPOHUE NATURAL BRIDGE

We went on a hike in Waitomo, and came to this natural bridge. The water had cut through the limestones, and created this bridge. I am not sure how long it will stay until it collapse.
MANGAPOHUE NATURAL BRIDGE
This beautiful reserve is located just 25km west of Waitomo. The natural bridge is a 'must-see'. The 17 metre high limestone arch, which spans the Mangapohue Stream is all that remains of the ancient cave system.

You can complete the loop track in 25 minutes, but if you have time you can continue your journey to discover 30 million year old fossilised oysters exposed in limestone outcrops.
