God\'s Bridge

God's Bridge

God's Bridge (God's Bridges), also known as Jabokrek, is a natural rock bridge in the Chirensko-Lilyashki karst region about 15 km north of Vratsa.

It is about 20 meters high, about 25 meters wide, and along its main axis the "tunnel" formed by the Lilyachka River is about 100 meters long. During the dry months of the year, the river under the bridge dries up and there are several ponds full of frogs. Hence the other name under which this rock phenomenon is known.

The bridge was declared a natural landmark on February 5, 1964. In the vicinity of Borovanska Mogila are the remains of a fortress from Roman times.

Orientation

God's Bridge can be reached by two routes: through the villages of Lilyache and Chiren, whose lands the bridge divides.

From Vratsa take the road to Borovan (there is no sign for Chiren). From the sign of Vratsa to the fork for Chiren are 5 km. After setting off on the road to Chiren, you spot another 5.7 km, after which you turn left. Soon the asphalt road becomes concrete, driving on it turns right at the first fork. A few hundred meters after the fork the road becomes a cart road, but it is passable and by car you can reach a meadow where there is a restored old Roman fortress.

From here you walk to the farthest tower from you, along which passes the path to God's bridge. On this path after 2-3 minutes you see it, and after another minute on the already steep path you find yourself in the cool air below it. There are benches and a fireplace
