About this place

Natural marble arches in an old spruce forest at roughly 1,450 m elevation. Formed from a collapsed karst cave subsequently enlarged by river erosion. The main bridge is about 96 m long and 70 m high, with its vault roughly 45 m above the river. A second bridge stands about 100 m farther down the ravine and is approximately 50 m high. Reached by a mountain side road roughly 16 km from the Road II-86 turnoff; conditions may deteriorate in winter. Check the linked official sources shortly before visiting because access, opening times, tours and road conditions can change.
