Devils Bridge, Natural stone bridge in Troizina, Greece
Teufelsbrücke is a natural stone bridge north of the village of Troizina in Greece, formed over a long period by the erosion of rock by water and wind. It spans a deep gorge carved by the Dalamas river, which flows below through pools and large rocks.
The gorge and its natural arch were shaped over a very long time by the Dalamas river cutting through the rock. The name of the site comes from an Ottoman-era legend about a builder who, after two failed attempts to cross the gorge, reportedly accepted the devil's help to finish the work.
The route to Teufelsbrücke starts from the main square of Troizina and follows a rough road through olive groves and past ancient ruins. Sturdy shoes and water are worth bringing, as the terrain is uneven and there are no facilities along the way.
Near the bridge, there are hollows in the rock that look like goat hoofprints, and locals connect them directly to the legend of the devil. These marks are real and clearly visible when you get close to the rock face.
