The ravine is wild, rather short. It is crossed by a trail, which leads through the slopes and crosses the watercourse by the half-ruined Baron’s or the Devil’s Bridge. There is another ravine in the park, which is also called the Devil’s Ravine, but it bears no features of an ancient place.
Narrative
“Older people tell that the ravine in the forest, not far from the Vilce manor, is the Devil’s Ravine. The ravine is crossed by a small stone bridge. The devil had hidden underneath the bridge during the storm, and this is how it got the name of the Devil’s Bridge. Once the devil had heard the thunder and had climbed a pine to look how far the thunder is, but the thunder had been close and had struck the Devil. The pine was split in several parts and the devil was driven deep into the earth. A divided pine is still seen, but the devil has not been seen around the ravine since then. The ravine is still called the Devil’s Ravine” (941,3932, put down by M.Strautmanis, told by Zenta Maselune). Similar stories are told about the Devil’s Ravine and the Bridge.
