Facts

Hot mineral waters with healing properties formed several “ponds” under the Devil's Bridge. It is known that even in ancient times wealthy Armenians came to this amazing cave to dip into the healing waters.

Mineral springs are located directly under the bridge. Flowing into the Vorotan River, they provide a stable level of water in the river. At first glance, it would seem that a low river flows here, but in fact, the Vorotan River “runs” under the bridge. Maybe this was the reason why the bridge was called “Devil's Bridge”.
