The Çalatlı Bridge (Aşıklar Bridge) was built in the 19th century and was built by local cut stone with four eyes of 49 meters length, 4.30 m width. It is the biggest historical bridge of Yozgat. There were people who used to say that lovers would meet on this bridge. Endless thanks to the General Directorate of Highways, which restored the bridge in 2019 and restored it to Yozgat. The legend of the bridge is: In one of the villages of the Sorghum during the Ottoman period, the muhtar had a very beautiful daughter, whose name extended to Yozgat. Hearing this, one of the Yozgat gentlemen put his mind to marry the girl. But she had a love, too. They recruited the young man in the Russian War. The girl and the boy were promised, two young men would get married when they got back from the military. Even if the mayor knew this, he would ignore it. Yozgat Bey asked for her daughter. She said that she should not give the mother tongue, but she could not convince the muhtar, no matter how much she shed. They finally gave the girl to Yozgat Bey. Girl dressed in two tears wedding dress. The bride procession is on its way. She cried so cried, she prayed so that I could not help anyone so I could not help. When the bride procession was on the way to Yozgat, the sky suddenly darkened, a downpour started, as if the heavens were punctured. Dried extracts were filled, streams overflowed, a flood came in the Çalatlı Village when passing the Eğri creek, the bride took the horse she was on. They never found the bride again. They wrote the situation in the military dictionary. The letter reached the continent, but it turns out that the bride was martyred at the same time the day the flood. Yozgat Bey did not know the situation. He was upset when he heard the truth. He built the Çalatlı Bridge in memory of young people.

If the bridge is on the beautiful road, it is worth stopping by, if you have tea and coffee, it is a nice place for a 15-20 minute break except that there is no sitting place near the business, no sink or anything ...

While coming from Sorgun to Yozgat, you turn right after 200 meters from the Alaca turn. You arrive after the estimated 2-3 kilometer service road. Unfortunately, the surrounding area of ​​the bridge is idle. There are no restaurants, cafes or WC around. Come and go. There is not even a table bench to sit and cay icip nevale food. If the bridge has been restored but its surroundings are poorly restored, it becomes a very nice alternative stopover. As you know, right at the foot of the main road connecting the capital to Erzurum-Kars and in this region, unfortunately there is no free place to stop and rest. Suggestion: If you have time, come by. It takes at most 20 minutes.
