Kivgireniyat (Humpback) Bridge across the Trevnenska River in Triavna (Bulgaria)


At the highest part of the bridge there is the relief of a pitcher. Some say that it was a visual reminder to the people from the neighbouring, and rival Gabrovo, to wash their hands before entering refined Triavna. According to another version, it was the other way round – the pitcher warned the inhabitants of Tryavna to wash themselves before venturing to Gabrovo.
