MosJan Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 MY HEART IS IN THE HIGHLANDS : an Incredible Journey The Satan's Bridge Poles in Armenia: an Incredible Journey http://traveler.armenianow.com/images/uploadedimages/ai289000.jpg Under the Satan\'s Bridge. Published: 28 February, 2008 Have you ever seen Satan's creation? We have… But about everything in turn. It was hardly 7 am when I and my friend Tomasz woke up in our temporary Yerevan apartment. We had decided to continue our journey to the south of Armenia. I and my companion are medical doctors. But whenever we aren't practicing medicine in our home town Lublin, we go traveling. We just love it. If your idea of traveling is staying at luxury hotels, taking car rides and shopping for expensive souvenirs, this story is not for you. We are not ordinary travelers as we like discovering everything by ourselves, without guides and special tours organized for travelers. We do buy souvenirs, however the most valuable souvenirs for us are memories that we add to our memory achieves every year. If you, too, want to discover something new that money can't buy and no travel agent will provide to you, follow us. We have with us steadfast backpacks with all essentials for travels, including convenient clothes and shoes for long-distance walks, as well as a desire to discover new worlds. This summer we have decided to discover Armenia. Reasons were various. I have always been interested in Armenia. I don't know whether it is because the country is ancient or due to the stories about this country that I have heard from my Armenian friends in Poland… Anyway, we started packing in the mourning loading our rucksacks with everything that our experience prompted us would become handy while on the trip. Before taking the "new destination" we had already visited the town of churches, Echmiadzin, as well as Gyumri, Dilijan and Sevan… and even had climbed Mount Aragats with night lanterns. The Tatev monastery was our next destination. "The Tatev monastery leaves a lasting impression. The labyrinths of narrow paths, stone steps, deep cavities seen in the dark, the abyss and the murmur of the river heard in the distance can't leave any visitor indifferent," the description in the travel guide said about the lonely monastery that we had chosen as our travel destination. The Tatev monastery is situated in southern Armenia, in the province of Syunik, not far from the town of Goris with houses built with small broken stones. The desire to see a lonely old monastery nestling in mountains inspired us, however to where our fate, coincidence or our curiosity guided us was impossible to forget, ever. Fully packed, we were at the coach station in Yerevan early in the morning. Together with a group of noisy Armenians we set off on the road to Goris on a minivan. A winding road through hills and fields took us to Goris by midday. The afternoon sun pricked our eyes and we did not know yet how we would reach the Tatev monastery. We noticed a car at the end of a dusty road and it stopped responding to our waving. The driver, a very agreeable Armenian, not only showed us the way, but also gave us a ride for a chunk of the road. He was from the village of Shinuhayr. The driver told us that Shinuhayr was the first village on the way from Goris to Tatev. As we reached the village, the kind Armenian invited us to his house for dinner. We thanked him for the offer of hospitality but declined it to proceed with our "searches" along the dusty road. After a few kilometers' walk along the dusty and rough road we were lucky again, this time to meet photographer Ruben and his group. There were four passengers in the car but we managed somehow to get in. We started off towards Tatev. Satan's Bridge Our new companions offered us to join them on another tour before reaching the Tatev monastery, as they were going to a "very interesting site" called Satan's Bridge. "And why is it called Satan's Bridge?" we asked. "We are interested to find out that, too. Let's go and see it there," Ruben smiled. http://traveler.armenianow.com/images/uploadedimages/ai289002.jpgFirst we headed down to the river bank... The name Satan's Bridge itself sounded very interesting. So we decided to join them. It was about 3 pm when we reached Satan's Bridge. The sun was scorching. We were very thirsty. There was a spring near the bridge.We drank. From that moment our surprise began – the spring water was mineral water and it was warm. However, we were still in for more surprises. Satan's Bridge is situated on the river Vorotan through which the way to Tatev lies. The next surprise was a basin full of warm mineral water near the bridge where many like to rest, swim and enjoy the rest granted by the warm mineral waters. We also swam and after taking a little rest began to look for ways to pass under the bridge. Mountaineering skills were useful to go down to the river – the only option was descending on an inclined rock with the aid of a rope. Perhaps it was because of that challenge that few would dare to go down. The river Vorotan flows below and the gorge in that part is so narrow that even sun rays cannot penetrate its bottom. Adjusting and lessening our clothes, we began to descend slowly and cautiously. Reaching the river, we understood that there was no road fit for walking – there were vertical rocks on the banks of the river. A different world opened in front of us, with mineral waters flowing down the rocks, bright, colorful scenes. Tomasz decided not to proceed halfway through the path. I did not stop, I was very enthused, despite the fact that our path, which could hardly be called such, was indeed very difficult to move along. However, Ruben was prepared for that challenge – he had thought of everything, also about an inflatable boat. We were to enter the river and pass under the bridge. We inflated the boat and went into the water. Ruben was photographing, the travelers accompanying him were girls. Willy-nilly I became the navigator…simply I was navigating the boat from outside, that is swimming in the river, accompanied, through "tropical Amazons", the group with whom we had already had time to become good friends. "This is a real paradise," Ruben, who had visited many known and unknown places in Armenia before, was saying in amazement. http://traveler.armenianow.com/images/uploadedimages/ai289003.jpgIn order to make the journey we needed an inflatable kayak, an umbrella, bathing suits, and hiking boots. There was some small fish in the river that constantly touched my legs, but it did not prevent me from moving forward and admiring the surroundings. "I am guiding for free this time, there won't be such a thing next time," I joked, turning around to those sitting in the boat, though I was thinking to myself that it was worth making a much more difficult journey to see such beauty. I was in bliss. Having visited so many countries and having discovered so many interesting places, I felt this one was very special. We were already seeing that the Satan's Bridge created by Mother Nature had a splendid view from below. Man surely has nothing to do with this. A totally different world starts from here. The bridge is made of travertine. Accumulating limestone sediment over centuries it spread from one bank to the other, forming a natural bridge. Cave-rooms come one after another, with small basins full of cold and hot water inside. We had a bathe there. Around us was a colorful world. A huge cave of stalactites with its darkness and warts is very mysterious. Springs falling down the rocks and mineral waters flowing from rock cracks, again tints – the gorge walls are colored in light-greenish, pink and yellow. That extraordinary marvel, a bridge that is 30 meters long and twice as wide, is in the deepest part of the gorge. Stalactites of different coloring hang from the edges of the Satan's Bridge and water like waterfalls pours down from little rocks reminding of cascades. "What a beauty!" I was saying to myself probably for a few dozen times and continued to repeat the same. "It is very, very diabolically beautiful," I said in my thoughts and at that very moment got the answer to the question why the place was called Satan's Bridge. This, indeed, seems to have been created by Satan. Descending under the Satan's Bridge and going up took us more than three hours. Within the three hours we cautiously descended, slid, swam, protected ourselves from waterfalls with umbrellas, climbed… got acquainted with the wonder made by Mother Nature and understood the most important – you surely won't read anything about this in any travel guide… Marianna Grigoryan listened to Poles Wladislaw Rogala and Tomasz Warzniencki.

It is wonderful ! I had been in a cave when I was young, in Monacowhere there was an exotic garden. We had to go down by stairs. I liked the stalactics, but yoursare more beautiful I am sure, because in the cave there was not the sky and the sun.Thank you very much.Do you understand French ?

It was very colddown the stairs, though it was in an exotic garden in Monaco. There were stalactics too,but not as sparklings as the Satan's Bridge.I should call it the Satan's cave.

Arpa Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) The best I can find is that the “bridge” was formed from «տրավերտիններից կազմուած բնական կամուրջ» I have no idea what that word is. The article goes on saying that there are many natural springs around it. And that «շթաքարեր”, (ստալակտիտներ):No mention when it was discovered and named so, i.e. “Satan’s Bridge/Սատանի Կամուրջ”, and not “Angel’s Bridge/ Հրեշտակի Կամուրջ”The only reference to “շթաքար/շիթաքար”, it is sometimes known as «կաթլաքար». We already know «շիթ» and «կաթիլ» are synonymous to mean “drop/drip”. See below where it says sometimes these are called “dripstone”----stalactite and stalagmite Stalactites are the rock (calcium bicarbonate) formation hanging down while stalagmites rise from the ground up.http://www.teara.govt.nz/files/p11516nsil.jpghttp://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/stalactite-stalagmite-1.jpg stalactite and stalagmite , mineral forms often found in caves; sometimes collectively called dripstone. A stalactite is an icicle-shaped mass of calcite attached to the roof of a limestone cavern. Groundwater trickling through cracks in the roofs of such caverns contains dissolved calcium bicarbonate. When a drop of water comes in contact with the air of the cavern, some of the calcium bicarbonate is transformed into calcium carbonate, which is precipitated out of the water solution and forms a ring of calcite on the roof of the cavern. By repetition of this process the length and thickness of the stalactite is increased. A stalagmite is a cone of calcite rising from the floor of a cavern. Stalagmites and stalactites are often found in pairs, the stalagmite being formed as a result of further evaporation and precipitation from solution after the trickle of water falls from the… Please don't write it in English Here is Siamanto using the word;ԱՐՑՈՒՆՔՆԵՐՍԱյս գիշեր երազիս մեջ, ձեռքս առի զքեզ,ով քաղցրախոս Սրինգ,Շրթունքներս զքեզ ճանչցան` ինչպես համբոյր մը հին օրերու,Բայց շունչս` հիշատակներու զարթնումին, հանկարծօրեն մեռավ,Եվ երգիս տեղշիթ առ շիթ,շիթ առ շիթ, արցունքներս էին որ ինկան վար...: Edited June 3, 2010 by Arpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
