The Bridge of the Three Virgins (Trijų Mergelių tiltas) is a 38-meter-high pedestrian and cyclist bridge spanning the Nemunas River in Kaunas. It serves as a vital connection between the Panemunė district and the Pažaislis Monastery area. The bridge is a steel truss structure characterized by its distinct arched design. It is located near the Panemunė pinewoods, providing direct access to recreational forest trails. The name originates from a local urban legend regarding three young women who lived in the vicinity. It is currently open to the public as a permanent infrastructure element of the city. The bridge deck is primarily composed of metal and timber elements, requiring regular maintenance due to its exposure to river winds.
