Wonderful Bridges (Chudnite Mostove)
Чудните мостове
Two huge natural stone arch bridges in the Rhodope Mountains, carved by river erosion, with forest trails and meadows suited to a half-day hike.
The Wonderful Bridges are two natural stone bridges formed as the Yerezovo River slowly dissolved the marble over a long period. The larger bridge has an arch about 45 meters high and is about 96 meters long. You can walk beneath the arch or climb to the top. The surrounding spruce forest and meadows have trails, wooden cabins and small restaurants, making it a popular summer hiking spot. It is about 70 kilometers from Plovdiv and requires a car or a hired vehicle. The drive via Asenovgrad takes about 1.5 hours with many winding mountain roads.
