If
you
drive
from
Plovdiv
or
Sofia,
it
will
be
mostly
on
good
roads.
The
last
15km
is
winding
and
bumpy,
and
the
last
7km
is
very
narrow.
But
if
you
drive
slowly
(30
to
40kmh),
you
will
be
fine.
Slow
down
and
enjoy
the
scenic
views!
I
had
no
problems
driving
there
in
my
small
Hyundai
rental
car.
(Which
I
hired
for
9
days
at
12
Euro
a
day,
very
very
cheap)!
I
was
there
on
a
quiet
weekday
morning
in
summer.
It
may
be
busier
and
more
difficult
driving
on
weekends
and
in
winter.
When
you
get
there,
the
bridges
are
best
seen
and
experienced
by
descending
into
the
gorge.
The
distance
is
only
200m,
but
it
is
steep
and
difficult.
Allow
30
minutes
at
least.
If
you
have
mobility
issues,
you
may
need
to
just
see
the
bridges
from
the
road
above.
Add
a
visit
to
the
monastery
at
Bachkovo
and
Asen's
Fortress,
and
it
becomes
an
easy
6
hour
trip
from
Plovdiv.
Bridges
are
free.
Monastery
is
free
but
you
pay
2Lv
for
parking.
Fortress
is
1Lv
for
parking
and
4Lv
to
enter
in
2022.
