The
Devil`s Cave is ~8,5 m deep. In the highest place, the cave is 1,5 m
high and 1,2 m wide. The ravine, where the cave is situated, is approximately 10 m deep. In the ravine, outcrops of grey sandstone and
dolomite can be seen. The legend tells that once upon a time, the Devil
wanted to block Abava. But he could not manage to accomplish this
mission because of a cock-crow. As the Devil was hurrying away, he
dropped the stone right there in the meadow, at the top of the hill,
where it is still today.
During the spring time and in wet conditions, you should be very
careful, because the walls of the ravine are very steep and slippery.
