cave / caves, interesting place
One of the most fascinating caves of Macedonia. At its entrance one can see the devastated watermill and the remains of a medieval tower. A river sprouts from the cave - it is the river Krapa which is partially subterranean.
There is also an interesting legend related to the Peshna cave and Deva's Fortress that are 4km away from the cave. Legend says that both Deva and Peshna (Krali Marko's sisters) lived in this region after they were married. As in those days women were not allowed to go out unaccompanied, and in order for the sisters to still be able to communicate, Krali Marko built a castle for Deva opposite the one of Peshna (which was at the entrance of the large cave named after her). Thus, the sisters communicated every morning by utilizing the echo produced by the interior of the cave.
