Devil’s bridge is located on Vorotan River to the east from Tatev village. The bridge consists of travertine and has natural origin. Its length is about 30m, width 50-60m, along the bridge passes the road Goris-Tatev (village).
There are many mineral springs around, from which have formed wonderful stalactites. Some springs are under the bridge and fall into Vorotan River making it more full-flowing.
At first sight it looks like a little river flows under the bridge and a big one outflows from the other side. It is assumed that this might be the reason of a strange name of the bridge.
Many historical events are connected with the Devil’s bridge. The location and natural conditions had a huge meaning in Syunik liberation war, leaded by Garegin Njdeh. From the bridge’s heights Njdeh threw into the canyon Turkish Bolsheviks and askers, who tried to occupy Armenian lands.
