On the right shore of the dry river valley an impressive natural rock arch bridge) is rising with a hole 5,5 х 2,4 m. The cap-like rock above it with sizes around 18 х 8 m has been leveled up through cutting, where in the eastern end two bits, side by side have been carved into. The first is oval-shaped with size  0,40 х 0,28 х 0,50 m, and the second is trough-formed with size 1,40 х 1,00 х 0,60 m. At about 25 km southern from the arch there is a natural rock vesicle, which is additional finished under the form of an elliptical in view and semi-elliptical in plan alter with size 7,60 х 9,10 х 310 m. It is oriented to the east with a diversion of about 12° to the north.
