A pedestrian link across the Minija
The wooden-plank deck hangs from steel cables and connects opposite banks of the Minija. Movement is perceptible underfoot, making a calm pace more important than rushing across.
The municipality separately lists bridges at Dituva, Lankupiai, Priekulė II and Gropiškiai. This point belongs to the Dituva and Butkai-Rokai setting, so do not navigate by a generic bridge name alone.
Crossing safely
Before stepping on, assess the planks, rails and entrance and read every sign on site. Cross alone or in a small group, do not bounce or run, and avoid passing where the deck is too narrow.
Boards are slippery after rain. Do not use the bridge during floods, ice movement or strong wind. Walk bicycles, keep children close and use a short lead for dogs.
Access and a responsible stop
The coordinates identify the bridge, not a car park. Do not drive along forest or riverbank tracks where signs prohibit it, and keep residents' access clear.
Riverside vegetation is vulnerable to trampling, so remain on the existing path. If the bridge is closed, damaged or marked with a warning, never bypass a barrier.
A marker on the Dituva–Butkai-Rokai route
The bridge is identified not only by the Dituva name but also by its link to the Butkai-Rokai side. That distinction helps with navigation because the other suspension bridges listed by the municipality cross different reaches of the Minija.
Treat a visit as a short river crossing rather than an established circular trail. Save the coordinates before setting out and return by the same legal path if no other clearly public exit is visible.
