The mayor of Chepelare blushes with shame at the people crushing their cars on the narrow road to find themselves in a 12-space parking lot and supports the idea of ”24 hours” for a buffer phenomenon at the foot of the rock.
Daniela Daritkova, deputy of Smolyan, promised on Tuesday to present and defend the draft of the ministries
the municipality for the repair of the dangerous 7 kilometers
More than 100,000 people come to the Wonderful Bridges natural phenomenon each year. So many tourists manage to count the two employees who are responsible for the order of the rock phenomena on the Erkyupria River in the western Rhodopes. One shows people where the ecological trails are to reach the marble wonders, and the other charges the fee for … a bathroom.
Probably both are equally carried away by the anger of the tourists who cannot find a place in the parking lot with 12 seats and lose two or three hours to travel the dangerous 7 kilometers of craters and return without a photo of the Wonderful Bridges.
The rocks
phenomena that
are among the 100
national
object,
They have been sculpted by nature for thousands of years by the river in the karst valley 6 km from Zabardo. These are two bridges, one of up to 15 meters wide, almost 100 meters long with three arches, whose height is 45 meters and width of 40 meters. The small bridge is 200 meters from the big one.
“I blush at the situation around this natural landmark.
People resent
and with full rights
Due to the desperate state, in some places the road is even dangerous. Only jeeps arrive without problems, two cars are difficult to pass, and for buses it is the most difficult and risky, ”says the mayor of the Rhodope municipality, Chepelare Boran Hadjiev.
People who make it to the site are in awe of the stunning natural sights, but at the same time enraged by the poor infrastructure.
Boran Hadjiev’s colleague, the mayor of the neighboring village of Zabardo Valentin Cherpokov, also has his own statistics.
“Only in
Holidays
to the wonderful
bridges go
3-4 thousand
people a day
and this summer many times more people have opted for the Rhodopes, “explains Cherpokov, adding that of the situation described Tuesday for” 24 hours “, both tourists and Chepelare are losing.
As the road to the Wonderful Bridges, which is in the top 3 of the most visited places in the Smolyan region, does not lead to a settlement, the locals do not open a European or national program to finance its repair.
The municipality of Chepelare, whose mayor Boran Hadjiev is the personal trainer of our only Winter Olympics champion, Katerina Dafovska, is in a difficult financial situation. The mayor’s office cannot allocate funds for the Wonderful Bridges, nor for the path to a natural phenomenon, nor for an intermediate parking lot for the hundreds of cars to stop at the foot of the Golyam Persenk peak, instead of uselessly climbing 1450 meters to through the Rhodope pine forests.
Otherwise Hadjiev
regards
the idea of
Cars “24 hours”
park in
approaches
to Wonderful Bridges and from there for people to get around on foot or by minibus, as is done in various landmarks around the world.
“The terrain is quite difficult and this is a good alternative. I have seen a similar organization in many European mountains. This will create order and there will be more income for the municipality and the jobs will be much more than the current two, ”Hadjiev said.
A similar organization exists at the two Eagle’s Eye and Wolf’s Stone scenic sites in Borino and Devin municipalities.
Tourists drive private jeeps for about 10 leva. However, the carriers themselves often fight over tourists. No one monitors their technical condition and the annual technical inspection is not enough for the extreme roads they pass through.
Car parking fees for Eagle’s Eye are collected by the tour company that manages Yagodinska Cave. However, the Borino municipality is opposed and insists that the proceeds go to the municipal treasury. According to local officials
the question with
infrastructure
And maintenance
natural
milestones
not solved
Statewide,
And this should have happened years ago
That the issue has not been resolved is clear from the total discrepancy in the opinion of the local and executive authorities. According to the mayors of Zabardo and Chepelare, Valentin Cherpokov and Boran Hadjiev, the main natural phenomenon is the Ministry of Ecology and the road is maintained by the municipality of Chepelare.
However, the ministry insists that it does not have the authority to intervene directly, as the Ministry of Environment and Water is not the director of this site, although the Wonderful Bridges is a protected area. The Ministry is responsible for the national parks, which in our country are 3: in Rila, Pirin and the Central Balkans.
“Before years
however the same
minister to me
persecutions with acts
by the signature of
Hristo stoichkov
with coal ”, recalls the mayor of Zabardo. He was fined for allowing the megastar and other celebrities to sign with charcoal on rocks in the area.
Stoichkov signed on May 9, 2008, when he arrived to present a Spanish investment project in the Zabardo region. The dagger wrote “Itzo №8” with charcoal from the fireplace of the roast with which it was received. According to Cherpokov, it is unfortunate to remove Stoichkov’s signature, and it is also made of natural material.
“More than 30 years
nobody reacts
of the dozens
subtitles of
tourists, and for
Stoichkov
environmental inspectors
they jumped
Raúl Castro also signed, but was not fined, “Cherpokov said.
In early July, Zabardo temporary workers manually filled some of the holes with gravel and tamped them down with logs.
However, thousands of cars and rain have returned to digging in the narrow road.
Another bureaucratic absurdity that it is not clear who is responsible for the site and that there is no budget to serve for its maintenance, traps both locals and tourists.
“For the walk
has done
repair project
Already in 2010, it is planned to do so in two stages: 9.2 km from the Smolyan – Plovdiv main road junction for BGN 5.5 million and from the Wonderful Bridges junction for BGN 4.1 million. “Clarifies Boran Hadjiev.
According to him, it takes a month to coordinate with the various institutions and the road can be repaired, provided the state provides funds.
Following the publication in “24 Chasa” on Tuesday, the governor of Chepelare presented the problem to Dr. Daniela Daritkova, deputy from Smolyan region and head of GERB.
“I became familiar with the problem and after reviewing the Chepelare municipality project, I am committed to presenting it and justifying the need for a complete infrastructure review to the relevant ministries,” said Dr. Daritkova.
