These impressive rock formations have been shaped by the erosive forces of wind and water over millions of years, resulting in their unique and dramatic appearance. Each arch has its distinct shape and character, adding to the enchantment of the place. Vratna is a river in eastern Serbia known for three fascinating natural stone arches resembling huge stone doors (which is how the river got its name). During the summer part of the year, the river Vratna does not have a constant flow (length of 26 kilometers) but sinks in several places and rises to the surface again. At the end of its canyon are a monastery of the same name (which originates from the 14th century) and a hunting ground where mouflons and fallow deer live. The three stone arches are: Suva kapija, Mala prerast and Velika prerast. The small overgrowth has a length of 15 meters. The width of its opening is 33 meters, the height is 34 meters, and the thickness of the vault above the entrance is 10 meters. The spectacular Velika prerast is about a hundred meters away from the Mala prerast, and its length is 45 meters. The width of its opening is 23 meters, the height is 26 meters, and the thickness of the vault above the door is 30 meters. The dry overpass is located, as the crow flies, about two kilometers upstream from the Small and Great overpasses, and its length is 34 meters. The width of its opening is 15 meters, the height is 20 meters, and the thickness of the vault above the door is 10 meters. It got its name because, in the summer part of the year, the Vratna sinks about fifty meters upstream, only to later appear and disappear once more before breaking out of the rock again and continuing to flow along the earth's surface. It is important to note that numerous forest turtles live in this area.
