The Winding Bridge

"The most convenient and accessible way to enter the village is by way of the Winding Bridge. A long, gravity-defying stone bridge that links the outside world with the village located up high and deep within the sheer-face cliffs, it is constantly patrolled by Jounin and the occasional ANBU.

The bridge starts off from down near the forest at the base of the cliffs and winds up through a cliff face, and then up and over an incredible drop, before finally winding up a large column of stone, naturally made from the elements, and as big as any skyscraper, before finally jutting off to the village gates, where two Chuunin sit, checking IDs and passes - the only thing allowing people inside the village. Without a written pass, you are not allowed entry.
