Woesong Bridge

Woesong Bridge carries the road into the main village of White Orchard from the east, just east of the White Orchard Inn. It is a modest country bridge surrounded by the orchards that give the region its name and that burst into white blossom every spring. Almost everyone who comes into the village from the east crosses it, a fast travel signpost stands right beside it, and a trader is only a few steps away.

The name comes from a sad local story about a girl who used to stand on the bridge and sing while she waited for her beloved to come home. The villagers never say whether he did.

In The Witcher 3

Most of the time the bridge is simply White Orchard’s front door, with the road running on east to the Ford and the Crossroads. It gets its own small story at the very end of the game. In the ending where Ciri becomes empress, Geralt returns to White Orchard and, after leaving the inn, sees a horse throw a peasant and bolt. Chasing it leads to a Temerian soldier back from the war, Hubrecht, who turns out to be the horse’s real owner. The horse is called Gulden, and Hubrecht had left it with his friend Mirko while he was away fighting.
