A magical place ✨

in Pinmapple2 years ago (edited)

I will start the story of my visit to this place with a local legend.

According to the legend, the Homolje mountains swallowed a large amount of gold .... At the bottom of the Krupa spring, the water spirit Tartor keeps the treasure ... Every year on "Devil's Day", Tartor beats drums and invites other spirits to his glory. And only then is the entrance to the cave with the gold open...

Wallachian women who want power enter the water that night and want to indulge in the water spirit. If the spirit obeys them and gives them power ... In return, it seeks the life of a young girl ...

It's about a legend ...
And that there is some mystery is testified by the underground chambers and corridors, which divers enter with the obligatory rope ... So that they can return to the surface ... And the water has a special color ...

It is not known where the water comes from in Krupajsko vrelo ....
It is known that there is not a single active stream to flow into Vrelo. The hot water is transparent up to one meter, and in some places up to five or six meters .... Before the dam was built, the water flowed out of the cave ... And now it is half submerged ... In the beginning, 18m depth was explored, and according to more recent research depth goes up to 132m depth ....

I was fascinated by this place ... when we arrived we came here first (I came with a group of tourists, and it is organized by the local bus carrier)

We climbed the stairs, and when we had to go down to the spring, it was crowded, and I noticed a path that leads over and as if descending, so I decided to try to go down ....

And since I was going the other way, I had an insight into the spring from above ...

As I was descending, the whole picture of this magical place slowly came together ... the foggy day added a little more mystery .... Part of the fog rose but it was still vibrating by the water ....

There was also a tourist who took pictures and he lagged behind the group like me ...

And now you will see a little bit of the surroundings ... And there are also fish that inhabit this spring .... the water flows over the dam into a small lake and continues to flow ...

Now I descend to the rampart which I return to the beginning ... It is the second path and leads along the canal with fish ....

IMG_20211016_113303.jpg

Along that rampart we reach the old mill which is not in function but it is nice to see ..... And there are a couple of specimens of larger fish and a small water outlet that makes a miniature waterfall ...

A small waterfall, but taking photos like this looks much bigger .... But I'm happy because I came across one .... I wanted a live waterfall, but I'm also happy with the photos posted by my dear friend @johannpiber ....😊

I reach the old mill, which has withstood the test of time, now it is just a monument ... and that is fine because time does not save ....

IMG_20211016_113633.jpg

IMG_20211016_113412.jpg

I came along that rampart ..... And took a look at the Krupajsko spring in the background .....

And a view of the lake ....
I continue the story and the view of the wider environment in the next part .... 🤗

Here is a magic photo (I tweaked it a bit 😉)

Wow, what a cool post of an interesting place. The images add nicely to the story and that place looks really magical.
I can really imagine the open cave on Devil's Day, the women in the water and the water spirit Tartor ...


!BEER and !WINE - both make a nice dinner with !PIZZA :)

Thank you very much dear @johanpiber 🤗

You should be here in silence, when my group passed, I came back once again to enjoy the silence of the place ...

Yes, I can imagine ....

I believe that this legend is not accidental and that there is a grain of truth in each ...
And Wallachian women, as far as I know from stories, have always practiced some kind of magic ....

The place is still unexpressed and I would like to have seen it before the dam, because then it was possible to enter the cave a little ...
And divers are still exploring its depths ... maybe they are hoping for gold ?!😉

True, I can enjoy such places only when I'm alone or when the few people who are around are quiet. Noisy tourists or other groups disturb the silence.

In every legend is a grain of truth and who knows, maybe magic exists - we have only forgotten how it works.
I don't like deep water, or better said I am afraid of dark deep water and whatever the treasure down there might be, I will never try to get it 😁

You are most welcome, dear @Suzana72, have a nice evening 🤗


!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Silence and solitude in places like this is desperately needed.

Yes, we probably forgot about magic ....😉

Uuh, I am also afraid of deep water, be it dark or transparent ... I am surur only if my fingers touch the bottom 🤭

So nothing from treasure hunting 🤣

Thank you very much dear @johannpiber

Have a nice evening too ✨✨✨

I have tried the spells of Harry Potter, but they didn't work 😁🤣

On vacation I always search a pool, but I also love to go snorkeling in clear and not deep water ;)

Once more I wish you a nice evening and a good night 😴

Hahaha .... maybe you should try some charms from Lord of the Rings ?! 🤭😉

It is important that it is not deep and everything is possible 😁

Thanks a lot and enjoy a quiet night one more time... Good night 😴
And tomorrow I wish you a bright and with a little work day ..☀️☀️☀️

Oh yes, I forgot the elves and Frodo - these might work 😃

Thank you very much, @Suzana72, you have also a wonderful day today 🌞


!LUV
!BEER and !PIZZA - nice 😃

Thanks for bringing me here @wrestlingdesires !!!!

These photos are incredible! I want to BE in that little grotto and swim out into the water Suzana! hahahaha

but i can tell by your warm clothes - that water is much too cold hehehe

Look at all those fish swimming over there - were they eating the algae or plants??? they were swarming !

and the waterfall - the angle that you took it really made it seem huge! hahaha clever way to do that :)

very enjoyable post!

I knew you would love that spot :) Sort of like your little meadow in the evacuation spot :) ?

Thank you very much @dreemsteem 🥰

I am very pleased with your words ....
Hahaha ... I would love to too, but when I remember that there are underground caves and that they haven't explored the depths yet ... Well, maybe I would just dip my feet 🤭 and sit firmly on the ground ... 🤣

Yes, it wasn't for swimming...

I don't know what they eat, but they definitely like it here ... because there are so many of them ....

Thank you very much, yes I managed to look huge and I didn't want the neighborhood atmosphere to see water just coming out of one pipe and making that little waterfall ....
There is also a source of thermal water and you can swim there because the water temperature is 26C .... 😁

I will talk about that in the next post ...🥰

I'm glad you liked the post ... The place deserves every admiration ....❤️

Have a nice day ☀️☀️☀️

That really is a magical spot ❤️ And that it's still somewhat unexplored is incredible! @dreemsteem will enjoy seeing these pictures :)

!PIZZA !ALIVE

Thanks a lot @wrestlingdesires and it really is magical❤️
And that is true, that it is simply unbelievable for today that it is unexplored .... But that goes in favor of the fact that nature is simply miraculous and we forget that.🥰

May there always be unexplored places on Earth ❤️ We need that as much as we need wild places!

I agree with you ... we need wild and unexplored places on Earth ❤️

thank you for bringing me here! hahahaha i have it open with like 30 other tabs hahahaha i will check it out for sure!!! :)

Coolll nature ;)) a beautiful lake with fish and that cave ;))

It really is @denisdenis 🤗
And the place that invites you to visit him ...🥰

Congratulations on the photos, that water is so clear, lovely place.

Thank you very much @question23 🤗🌼

Yes, the place is beautiful and the water is unusual in color and transparent.
