An Exciting Meeting with The Meanders of River Arda

Passikovo, Vodentsi, Stylish, Topolovo, Dolni Glavanak, Gorni Glavanak - we almost arrived! Well, I think why I do not stop wandering around the villages in the Eastern Rhodopes during the hottest season of the year.

The air conditioner in the car cannot catch up with the heat. Above the asphalt, there is a rush. I opened the window and put my hand outside after just a few minutes my right hand has already got a brownish tan.

I do not know how many miles we've traveled, I just know I do not want to end. Life is a journey - for me in a literal and figurative sense. After a series of plans and their twists and turns, I find myself on the way to the meanders of the Arda River.
I secretly pray the photoshopped pictures that I have seen from the place will not to play a bad joke and have not created unreal expectations. They say it's not good a person to have expectations in order not to get too disappointed. However, after so many miles of heat and winding, it is somehow hard not to hope that all efforts will be worthwhile.

One of the most popular and photographed places of the Arda River is the one between the villages of Madjarovo and Borislavtsi. And I, as a traveler, want to know why this place is so enchanting.

Where, accidentally, where not, I find myself on the way to Madjarovo. Noon passes. I remembered I didn't eat anything last night. I think- we will have a good meal at the hospitable Rhodopes and we will continue to the amazing views. Yes but no!

Shortly before the village, we cross a metal bridge. According to GPS, we will arrive very soon. I'm asking for the shortest way to take us straight to downtown Madjarovo. This is how we find ourselves on a something similar to a road that runs along the river....
