Vile Bridge

Bārtas upe, Rucavas un Bārtas pagasts

During World War I, the Germans built a narrow-gauge (600 mm) railway line to ensure the convenient transport of timber from the forests of Bārta and Rucava to Germany. The line was initially constructed from Darbėnai (in Lithuania) to Dubeņi (in Grobiņa Parish). In later years, the line was extended all the way to Liepāja. After the war, the railway was used for passenger transport to Liepāja. The narrow-gauge line ceased to operate on the Liepāja–Rucava section in the autumn of 1944, and on the Liepāja–Slamste section in 1962.
