the wonderful bridges

The Wonderful Bridges (Chudnite mostove - in Bulgarian) are a must-see if you are in Smolyan/Chepelare/Pamporovo area. When you look at the shapes created by water and winds, you realize that the place is really divine. There is a narrow road, leading up to the bridges and there is a trail, going around the area and you can go down to the river. There are railings but you have to be careful anyway, as there are some steep places!

The place is easily accessible through a somewhat narrow asphalt mountain road. Parking is available and by a short trek you can reach the river gorge which has carved a beautiful cave and arc system.

Extraordinary place , must see !The bridges is made of natural stone by nature it is amasing , beautifull and like no other place you imagine

The Wonderful Bridges are indeed wonderful. Imagine how the mountain water carved its way through the mountain creating those bridges.You can follow the trail all the way down to the small river and get some awesome pictures.

Although our hike was shorten by rain this is a really good hike with some interesting trail engineering. Be sure to make arrangements to visit the new visitors center.
