Devil's shore

The monument of nature, “Devil’s Town” is located in the South of Serbia, 27km southeast of Kuršumlija, 89km southwest of Niš and 288km away from Belgrade. This natural monument is comprised of two natural and rare in the world phenomena: the soil figures, as specific forms of relief which appear rather attractive, and two springs of extremely acid water with high mineralization. These two rare phenomena are together observed as the “Devil’s Town”, and are a remarkable wonder of nature. The peculiarity of these wonders of nature is complemented by the natural surroundings of the soil figures, seeming very harsh, almost mystical, and in the wider area picturesque and tame. Strangely sculpted and,even stranger,arranged figures (made from earth),water with strange taste and smell,mystical and mysterious sound that is made when the wind blows - influenced the imagination of the local population so they named this place Devil's Town. People explained this natural phenomena in many legends.Here's one of them: Once upon a time, there lived humble, calm, citizens who ware very religious. Devil didn't like the loyalty of the citizens so he sent them a "Devil's water" to forget about familial relationships. As they drank the water, stunned villagers decide to marry brother and sister! Some fairy tried to stop this Devil's plan,but she failed. She started to pray to God to stop the incest. God listened to her request, connected heaven with earth, the strong and cold wind petrified the wedding party with all the sinful newlyweds .
