Some light a candle in small wooden chapel, others tied a piece of clothing to leave here the pain and anguish to make way for the light in your life and go purified and healthy. For people who came out of curiosity, the place seemed strange and gloomy. There is no sun, moisture seeps into the air around you will see traces of strange rituals, clothing, icons, household items and whatnot left on wooden odarche or hanging over the spring. One thing is certain - you will never forget this magical place, hidden in the green embrace of Strandja!
