[1] In the 19th century there used to be a wooden bridge over the river Botunya, amidst Sopovo locality, but the water carried it away many times.

The mayor and some locals helped him out and, in a gesture of gratitude; he hired Italian engineers to build and maintain an iron bridge with 100 years guaranty.

[2] Sopovo locality is a beautiful and unusual place, difficult to access, close to the village of [Stoyanovo] in the Northwest of Bulgaria.

It is located to the east of [Berkovitza] in the valley of the river Botunya, midway between Vratsa and Montana, 10 km after the intersection to Varshets.

In the recent years the number of accidents increased due to the difficult access to the place and carelessness on the part of the tourists.
