Sunny but windy day ... It's warm as if summer has arrived ...
I looked at the photos taken last weekend .. I remembered the beauty and mystery of that area ....
Last weekend I went on a trip to Krupajski vrelo ... This is the second time I went there. It is located near the Homolje Mountains ...
(The lake is 40 meters long and 17 meters wide.)
(I reached the lake over the rocks ... there were steps, but for me this path between the trees was more interesting ....
The road descended vertically to the lake and I had to cling to the trees. I wanted to photograph the lake from this trail until I came down to it ...)
I love that part which is ancient and whose forests have seen for centuries ...
The legend about the Krupa spring springs tells us that the mountains swallowed a large amount of gold ... And that there is a tunnel that goes from the spring to the treasure ... Tartarus, the water spirit keeps the treasure ...
I think there is a grain of truth in every legend .....
The source of the river Krupaja is still unknown ...
They tried to find the source of the water, but have not yet determined ....
The cave is inaccessible, so I decided to stand on a rock that is partly in the lake ... so that I can take a photo of the cave as close as possible ....
I was thinking whether to undress and stand barefoot on a rock ?!
But still I will stop with the sneaker ... as I stopped, I slipped and drowned the whole sneaker. I managed to sit on a rock and not sink all over ...
My sister laughed and took a picture of me while I laughed and wrinkled my legs in cold water .. (the overflow of that water is 9-10C)
At least I cooled my hot feet.. 🤣
Maybe I would dare to peek into the cave ... slowly on the rocks .... if I didn't know that it was 123 meters deep that divers explored ... so they haven't reached the bottom yet, because it's full of various tunnels, underwater caves that make up an intricate network of corridors .... and you can only dive in the lake, that is, go deep ... You can't swim .... (That's where I stopped and continued walking with one wet sneaker🤣)
This autumn, when I was there, the color of the water came to the fore even more .... Now there is a lot of greenery, so the water has more green color ....
From the lake to the mill we walk along a narrow concrete path, which is a real pool .... trout pool ...
The cave fills with water and goes outside ... In the seventies, a dam was built, the water level rose and flooded most of the cave ... Then they used the water to start the mill, which still works today ....
There is also trout farming, which is prepared in the restaurant near the pool .... the pool is filled with thermal water at a temperature of 20C.
Here is a restaurant with a water source ... (Both springs are protected by law)
There were metal ladders descending into the lake ....
And since I was already barefoot, I decided to bathe my feet here too ...
After bathing our feet....
We returned to the beginning of the road, a lake with a cave ... To enjoy the silence and the unusual color of the water ....
My sister and I enjoyed these wonderful natural beauties ...
If you take a closer look, you will see that the opening of the cave and the reflection make a full heart.❤️
When we descend, the river flows into another lake, which is calm ... And like a stream it continues on ....
Mysterious Homolja filled my heart and soul ....
Happy and a little tired we go home ....
I hope you enjoyed walking with me ..🤗
Have a sublime and beautiful Sunday ☀️🌸☀️
