The Selca, Poljane Sora and Sora rivers shaped the landscape and the people who live by them. There are numerous bridges which stand on its banks, connecting people and places.
The wooden footbridge with a shrine, named after the ancient appearances of the devil, connects the settlement of Puštal with Škofja Loka. With its surroundings, the Devil's Bridge, under which the Poljane Sora river froths, is one of the most picturesque locations in Škofja Loka. From the bridge there is a great view of the Church of the Holy Cross on Hribec, which dates from the 18th century. A path leads up to the church with the 12 Stations of the Cross.
This bridge over the Selca Sora river, built in the mid-14th century from carved stone in a semi-circular shape, is the only one of its kind in central Europe. In 1888 it was renovated and equipped with iron railings. In the centre there is a statue of St. John of Nepomuk, with the Škofja Loka coat-of-arms on the plinth. In the Middle Ages the Selca Gate with a guard tower stood beside the bridge.
This elegantly-shaped stone bridge with a chapel, built in 1840, is located in Železniki.
