The God`s bridge is situated in the Chiren-Lilyache Karst region, north of the town of Vratza, which is one of the most interesting and most important Karst regions in Bulgaria, and includes many water caves, Karst springs, surface and underground water streams and rivers.
The name of the bridge comes from the fact, that in the past local residents could not find any logical explanation for its origin. What is certain, however, is that in Ancient times the bridge was used as a natural bridge, since remains of an antique and medieval fortress were found very close to it, in the Borovan mound region.
By its beauty, this natural phenomenon can be compared with the Wonder Bridges in the Rhodopi mountain. It can be easily accessed in all seasons, but is still not very popular and rarely visited by nature lovers.
It was declared a natural monument in 1964.
