Erma river gorge - phototrip

Stoyan Krusharski, 04.03.2009

In search of an early spring one-day adventure close to Sofia after a short examination of the map we head for the Erma river gorge, situated just 75km south-west of Sofia on the Bulgarian-Serbian border. The gorge is in the immediate vicinity of the town of Trun, known for the building skills of its masters and the unique Busin ceramic school. The town of Trun is known also as the place in Bulgaria where the lowest temperature in the country is measured, but on this early spring sunday the road is dry and in good condition (and with almost no traffic at all), and the trip by car from Sofia takes only an hour. It is also quite well designated (though in bulgarian), so we find the gorge easily. The gorge is immediately to the boarder with Serbia - within less than 3km, as the river flows to Serbia after the gorge. It's less than 20 minutes walking from the place we leave our car to the gorge itself.

The gorge is impressive with the 100 meters high rocks on both sides and the turbulent river below that you can observe from the wooden bridge that is only 20 meters away from the place where the high rocks clash and the river goes crazy.

From the wooden bridge the Trun Eco-path starts, accompanying the river in the gorge and going through two tunnels.

To walk the Eco-path you will need approximately an hour, we take the long tour and continue to a small nameless village on the very border (hope we are in Bulgaria yet, a small boy chopping wood doesn't answer our greeting "Dobar den"), cross the river again and return through the forest to the gorge.

A must-see is the small ground on top of the left from the two high rocks, towards which wooden stairs lead. The view is breath-taking - to both Bulgaria and Serbia.

On our way back we stop for a short in the town of Trun, famous for its best master builders in Bulgaria and as a battlefield where major battles in the liberation and the Bulgarian-Serbian war from the begginning of the 20th century took place. In this town with a rich history there's a monument of the bulgarian soldiers that died in the battle that was fenced with the horseshoes of their dead horses.

Hungry as wolves after the half-day walk-around we stop in the nearby town of Breznik, where two local girls head us to the "Lights club" bar-restaurant where we find decent food on amazing prices (1EUR for a Shopska salad!). You should try the "Graovsko Guvedje" typical for the region.
