About this place

At the foot of Tatev Monastery, in a gorge about 500 meters deep carved by the Vorotan River, lies Devil’s Bridge, a natural stone formation. It was formed over thousands of years due to the constant physical and chemical influence of water and wind on lava masses. The bridge is about 30 meters long and around 60 meters wide. The area attracts tourists not only with its unusual appearance, but also with its hot springs, known for their healing properties. Several caves are also visible in the area, located below the springs, and can be seen by descending toward the river. These caves are partially explored and still maintain their mysterious character today.
