Itinerary description

This is a trail many have already done and we were following on one, hoping to add some pictures and better gps tracking. We also did a nice variant by starting at the highest point of the trail, leaving the car near a small viewpoint cabin. This enabled us to see all 5 bridges going mostly down and then letting only the more fit part of the family/group return to the car, leaving others to wait in the 5th bridge and saving them the steep ascent.
Along almost the whole trail there is a clear red-on-white marking - see on the photos.
The bridges, dating more than 250 years, are very nice even at this season (September) with no water flowing. I guess it's even nicer in the winter with the flow.

    Smart way to see these bridges, avoiding 3km of steps back and forth to vitsa, which have little interest
