It has an arc shape, adapted to the configuration of the terrain. In the lower part adjacent to the river on the side of the village, a watermill was built, which until recently was used by the local population. The watermill is also built of carved stone and covered with stone slabs as all traditional houses in Mariovo region.

Beautiful, not really old bridge over a picturesque little gorge where you can wade in the mountain stream, swim or simply climb over the stones. Nice for children too. It's best to take something to read and or a small picnic with you and spend some time there. Just please don't leave any dirt lying around - unfortunately there is some rubbish in the idyll.

There used to be a wooden bridge in this place, which (according to the inhabitants, collapsed under the weight of a bullock cart) The stone bridge was built in 1956.

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
