The bridge is built over a small river called the Solutska River(some call it The Kirovskaya River). Departure for the site is at the end of the village where there is a turn to the "banichkite".The narrow dirt road that leads to the "banichkite" passes a few fences and gardens up to the bridge. To reach it, one can also go along the creek, upstream. The bridge is only 150 meters away from the spring and is concealed by old fir trees. It has three arches,the length of the roadway is 22.70 meters and the height of the individual arches is respectively 3.10, 5.0 and 2.0 meters .It is fully preserved. It was built on bedrock .
Near the bridge, about 150 meters downstream, there is a scenic spot called "banichkite". Both sides of the banks are overgrown with ancient alder trees . It is located just near Kirkovo, in the "Kukulya" area. There are several springs gushing along a small river coming from Lozengradtsi village.Four small fountains have been built alongside the springs and use their fresh water. Locals are convinced of the healing properties of this water. It is included in the locals’ healing practice. Most often the water is used to treat kidney and gastrointestinal diseases.
