The altitude of this Bulgarian miracle of nature is 1450 meters. This place is located south from Plovdiv town and close to Chepelare town. This phenomenon is not only attractive because of its striking appearance but also with its own history and origin. In former times, a cave has been formed from the marble stocks in the waters of Deep Dol River but it dropped, probably because of an earthquake. The waters have obtained the fallen splinters and that way they've formed two uncommon for their beauty natural stone bridges. The first one is bigger with span 96 meters and elevation near 70 meters. Its vault towers above the crystal clear water of this river. The marble block, from which it is formed, is 15 meters wide. There's a road up there. From the walls, you will find just two connected caves and several other Karsts hollows, where many birds and bats find a wonderful shelter.

Two-hundred meters farther down you can see the second bridge, which is 60 meters long and looks like a tunnel. Its elevation is approximately 50 meters along with the arch alone is 30 meters. The bridge begins with a wide entry, which slowly gets narrower and at its end, it seems similar to a fissure. At the lower end of this bridge, the river suddenly disappears and comes to the surface after two km. Not far from here in the front of the second bridge is the entrance of the Icy cave where the ice is not melting until late summertime.

The cliffs are covered with wild geranium and Haberlea rodopenzis (called by the locals "the everlasting flower"). The everlasting flower isn't frequently seen although the conditions in Bulgaria are great for it. Near these impressive nature formations, you can have a break in a tourist hut called after the name of the place - Wonderful Bridges. Here you may enjoy the beautiful views under the sounds of the woods. There are a few eco paths also that you can go through and breathe the fresh forest air. Underneath the peak of Persenk there's an ancient Roman road which was built from the Ist century B.C.. The Wonderful Bridges is reported to be one of the hundred Bulgarian national tourists' items. The way to this place is long and the road is very narrow and the travel appears to be forever but once you get there you will never want to leave. Bulgaria is a small country that has many beautiful spots. Do not be afraid to visit Bulgaria because here are hidden amazing treasures of this nature's most beautiful phenomena.
