Puzzle Black Sea Premium 1000 pieces - Devil’s Bridge

The Devil’s Bridge that crosses Arda River in the vicinity of the town of Ardino is amazing not only because of its construction, but with the mysterious legends associated with it too. It is one of the most frequently visited locations in the Eastern Rhodope Mountains. The 56-metre long bridge was built in 1515–1518 by Usta (Turkish for ‘master mason’) Dimitar on commission by Sultan Selim the First. It lies on the foundations of an old Roman bridge that connected the Aegean with Thrace through Makaza Pass. According to one of the legends, a footprint of the Devil itself can be seen on the bridge. Vladislav Terziyski is not only a photographer, he is an adventurer and a true lover of the mountain.

His pictures reveal the incredible beauty of Bulgarian nature not only as seen from the ground but from the air too.
