The depth in the river is located next to a unique construction monument – Murmuiza stone bridge over the River Vilce, which is built on the old Dobele – Bauska road as a crossing of the River Vilce. The bridge is 114 m long, accommodates three vaults, crossing the river and its two arms. It was built in the 19th century. The central vault is 4m high and 6,8 m wide. Downstream of that is the remarkable Devil’s Depth. A similar depth is also downstream of one of the culverts of the arms of the river.
Narrative
The large river turn downstream from the old road bridge is mentioned in many stories in relation with the Devil. The depth may in no way be covered up, nor made smaller. Many valuables had drowned there, but these cannot be lifted out, since the place is much too deep.
According to another information Devil’s Depth is located in the River Svete. Not far from the old Vilce Bridge a monument devoted to the Swedish soldiers is established.
