Once it was a large ravine in the shape of a canyon. After the Plavinas water power-plant was built, the ravine was partly flooded and only its upper part is now visible, which still is rather impressive. Dolomite cliffs are seen in the ravine. When the water level is lower, also the spring is seen.
The ravine bears a mythological name – Devil’s Ravine. It is said to have been mentioned also in the tales. Probably, an ancient cult or mythological site.
