Stoyanovo is a village in Varshets Municipality, Montana Province, northwestern Bulgaria. [1]
In the 19th century there used to be a wooden bridge over the river Botunya, amidst Sopovo locality, but the water carried it away many times. One day, when the river had once again destroyed the bridge, Prince Ferdinand’s carriage got stacked in the water and the prince had almost drowned into the wild river Botunya. The mayor and some locals helped him out and, in a gesture of gratitude; he hired Italian engineers to build and maintain an iron bridge with 100 years guaranty. Later on that bridge was called “The Miracle of the Northwest”. It is intact and in a perfect condition even today, 130 years later. [2]

There are many legends and myths, surrounding the place. According to some of them, the deep holes that litter the area were used to shelter wood nymphs in their hibernation period.

The Beaverhead–Deerlodge National Forest is the largest of the National Forests in Montana, United States. Covering 3.36 million acres (13,600 km2), the forest is broken into nine separate sections and stretches across eight counties in the southwestern area of the state. President Theodore Roosevelt named the two forests in 1908 and they were merged in 1996. Forest headquarters are located in Dillon, Montana. In Roosevelt's original legislation, the Deerlodge National Forest was called the Big Hole Forest Reserve. He created this reserve because the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, based in Butte, Montana, had begun to clearcut the upper Big Hole River watershed. The subsequent erosion, exacerbated by smoke pollution from the Anaconda smelter, was devastating the region. Ranchers and conservationists alike complained to Roosevelt, who made several trips to the area. (Munday 2001)

There are a vast array of myths surrounding the Blackfoot Native Americans as well as Aboriginal people. The Blackfeet inhabit the Great Plains, in the areas known as Alberta, Saskatchewan, and areas of Montana. These stories, myths, origins, and legends play a big role in their everyday life, such as their religion, their history, and their beliefs. Only the elders of the Blackfoot tribes are allowed to tell the tales, and are typically difficult to obtain because the elders of the tribes are often reluctant to tell them to strangers who are not of the tribe. People such as George B. Grinnell, John Maclean, D.C. Duvall, Clark Wissler, and James Willard Schultz were able to obtain and record a number of the stories that are told by the tribes.
