ELENOV SKOK

​

     The bridge was built before 3-4 centuries in memory of the death of one magical and beautiful deer. At mount Stogovo nearby the village Mogorche, a hunter from the village who was going hunting, intercepted a deer. He picked up the gun to shoot. But, when the deer looked at him, he realized that the deer with the warm look and attitude was begging him not to shoot, not to kill. The hunter was vicious, he dropped his gun, approached the deer and began to caress it. The deer hugged him with the head expressing his friendship. So the hunter and the deer befriended and every day used to associate. The hunter told the villagers about the meetings with the deer. One morning they rushed to search the animal. They met it and tried to catch it. But the deer began to run away and not become a prey to strangers, and tried to jump the river. However the poor animal failed in that. The jump was a few spans shorter and the deer broke its front legs. In memory of deer’s bravery and beauty , the villagers of Mogorche, who were renowned masters, built this bridge with unusual construction and architecture.
