Uros Petrovic - Devil's town, natural monument in the south of Serbia

I had a very interesting day here, air was full of energy... This place is realy cool and spooky... The "Devils' Town" (Serbian name "Djavolja varoš"), the natural monument, is situated in the south of Serbia, 27 km south-east from Kursumlija. This natural monument embrace two rare world's phenomena: 202 soil figures as specific relief forms rendering an attractive sight, and two wells of strong acidic waters with high mineralization. The terrain around the figures adds to the attraction of these phenomena rendering a rather severe mystical impression, while, on the other hand, the surrounding ambience is timid and picturesque, with remains of an ancient temple and a few mining pits from medieval times. The region was formed several million years ago by strong volcanic activity. There are several legends surrounding this phenomenon; the most common one is that the poles represent God`s punishment and that the formations are wedding guests that have turned into stones.
