The mills were built along the Krumovitsa River and were designed for grinding corn flour and fodder. There are five of them, two of which in the lower neighbourhood, two in the upper one and one in the Central neighborhood. All are active and usually run from November to March when the river is the deepest. They are constructed of crushed stones and fitted with mortar. The roofs are covered with stone slabs (tikli).
The bridge in the upper neighbourhood has two arches. It was built by a shepard who wanted to do something good for the community. The southeast vault is 4.60 meters wide and 3 meters high and the other one is 2.60 meters wide and 1.50 m high.The roadway is 13.20 meters long and 2.60 meters wide. There is a pier next to it. The vault was built of crushed stones.It is rectangular, 15X45 cm. The cornice is perpendicular to these plates. The bridge is well preserved.
