Đavolja Varoš
Located on the southern slopes of Mount Radan, just 27 km from Prolom Spa, Đavolja Varoš (the "Devil's Town") is one of the most unusual geomorphological phenomena in Serbia. This natural site, which has been nominated as one of the candidates for the 7 Natural Wonders of the World, attracts visitors from around the globe due to its unique formations, mystical atmosphere, and the legends passed down through generations. Đavolja Varoš consists of 202 earth figures formed by erosion, creating natural "towers" that protect harder rocks from collapsing. These bizarre formations are a rare sight in the world, and their number and variety make the landscape of this site almost otherworldly.
The Legend of Đavolja Varoš
The name of this place is not coincidentally linked to the "devil." The strange shapes of the earth figures, the eerie sounds of the wind, and the acidic springs have inspired many folk tales. The most famous legend says that these figures are actually petrified wedding guests, whom the devil tried to unite in an unlawful marriage, but according to folklore, the forces of nature prevented his plan and turned the wedding guests into stone. These stories add a unique touch to the visit, as visitors often feel like they are in a world where reality and imagination meet.
Healing Waters and Unique Springs
A visit to Đavolja Varoš also offers the opportunity to discover two highly acidic springs — Đavolja Voda and Crveno Vrelo (Red Spring). These springs contain a high percentage of minerals, iron, and other elements, which give them their characteristic red color and distinctive taste. These natural rarities only enhance the mysterious atmosphere of this fascinating region. Together with the natural contrasts of Mount Radan, known for its rich vegetation and unique microclimatic conditions, Đavolja Varoš becomes the perfect destination for nature lovers, hikers, and anyone seeking to explore untouched nature.
