wine series LE PONT COUVERT
The earliest record of the existence of a covered bridge in the town of Lovech dates back to 1838 and belongs to the French traveler Ami Boué-“Covered stone bridge decorated with little shops.” In 1871, upon his visit to the town of Lovech, Felix Kanitz wrote down: “A bridge…with cool shade offered to the bystanders and sellers by its wobbly hanging roof.” Local documents and memoirs reveal that these bridges were carried away by the swollen river.
