Italy - Another myth says that the Devil demanded that the soul of the first person to cross the bridge would be his, so the locals made a dog cross it before anyone else would.

Italy - The Devil was so angry at the residents that he stomped his feet really hard on the rocks near the bridge, forming the holes that we can see today.

Switzerland - The legend behind the Teufelsbrücke (German for 'Devi'ls Bridge'), in Switzerland, is pretty similar to the one behind the Ponte Del Diavolo in Italy.

Switzerland - According to local rumors, a Swiss shepherd was struggling to build a bridge, so he made a wish to the Devil.

Switzerland - The Devil then showed up and had the bridge built, under one condition: that the soul of the first person to cross it would belong to him. The residents, however, decided that a goat should be the first to cross it.

Switzerland - The Devil got so mad he decided he'd smash the bridge with a huge rock, but on his way, he crossed paths with an old woman who was holding a crucifix and scared him away.

Switzerland - Myths aside, the bridge is located on the Schöllenen valley, which is an important access route to St. Gotthard Pass.

France - In France, the Devil's Bridge can be found in the region of Hérault, near Saint Guilhem-le-Désert.

France - Legend says the residents of Saint Guilhem used to leave isolated by the abyss, which made it impossible to cross the river there.

France - In order to get to the other side, locals had to walk a long and dangerous path through the mountains.

France - The Devil promised a resident he's build a bridge in exchange for his soul, but the man tried to trick him by having a cat cross the bridge instead.

France - The angry Devil jumped into a whirlpool, and a local priest threw holy water on the bridge to get rid of bad energies the Devil left behind.

Italy - Another Devil's Bridge in Italy is situated on the island of Torcello, near Venice. Unlike the other bridges, this one is actually quite easy to cross - but there's also a terrifying legend surrounding it.

Italy - According to the story, a young Italian woman fell in love with an Austrian soldier.

Italy - In order to put an end to the relationship, the young woman's family moved to Venice, where she later received the news of her lover's death.

Italy - She decided to go look for a witch and made a pact that the Devil would bring back her love. They would meet exactly where the bridge is built today.

Italy - According to the legend, the Devil brought the soldier back, but the witch vanished without fulfilling her side of the promise.

Italy - Because of that, it is said that the Devil comes back to the bridge looking for the witch every December 24.
