Boulder River

Last week Lisa and I had a meeting at a restaurant at the base of the mountain about an event for the Bible School. We had a babysitter for the afternoon so we decided to head up the mountain to check out this place called “Golden Bridges.” Not sure why they call it that as it doesn’t really resemble bridges, but it’s more like a river of giant boulders. So I have renamed it for myself “Boulder River.”

Check out the top picture: can you see Lisa in the very center of the picture. All of these boulders are bigger than her or I, yet they are positioned in a way that you can climb up and over them with a little strategic planning. We loved this place. It is like an adult playground. We spent an hour or so climbing and jumping from rock to rock.

You can actually see and hear the river running under and around the rocks. Local signs say that it was formed over many (thousands) of years as a result of volcanic activity, water and gravity. Not really sure how it happened – Lisa thinks God got board one day and just started bolling boulders down the mountain. It has definitely become one of our favorite places here in Bulgaria. We can get from our place to hear in about 35-40 minutes from our place. Come visit – we’ll take you!
