Devils Bridge

Share |

The deepest part of the Vorotan gorge is between Tatev and Arzhis (700-800 m). Here, the gorge is so narrow that even the sunrays do not reach the bottom of it. The "Devil's Bridge", the most beautiful and the most amazing natural miracle of Vorotan gorge is in one of the deepest parts of it. This natural bridge is 30 m long and 50-60 m wide and it is a short, yet significant party of the road from Goris to Tatev. The mineral water that spills of from sources inside rocks, has painted the walls of Vorotan gorge with rose and yellow colors. During many ages the lime from healing travertine springs, was thrown from one wall to the other, creating a great rocky arch over a furious river. From the sides of the bridge are hanging charming stalactites and from the rocky slopes are dribbling cascades. In some parts where there, are hot springs, natural bathes have occurred by the nature's grace and they can be used for medical purposes. The area underneath the bridge resembles a huge stalactite cave.
