The Wondrous Bridges

map These are rock formations (caves) in the West
Rodopes, situated at an altitude of 1450 m. An
interesting carst region is found along the River
Zaburzo and among the marble massif of the
Rhodopi part of Chernatitsa.

The Wondrous Bridges The central position is occupied
by the three rocky bridges, two
of which are in immediate vicinity
to each other. Nature has sculp-
tured a 10 m wide bridge hanging
above a 45 m deep precipice. The
steep valley of the river is covered
with straight candle-like fir- and
pine-trees. The waters of the river
disappear under the ground and
come to the surface again after
3 km. There is a hut next to the
rocky bridges which is accessible
by a road.
