Amazing Nature Contest - November
2021 - #03

Visiting the Homolje mountains is always an experience for me .. I love that area very much and if I could I would visit it more often ... this time we visited the Gornjak monastery and when we visited it there was time for a short walk .... I saw a signpost .. Lookout 200m .. I can climb it quickly, it's not that high and it doesn't take much time .... All happy that I can climb, I started walking fast .... The ascent was really hard, because it was just a sharp climb. up .. When I arrived, my soul was in my nose ... But my breath stopped from the beauty ....

The fog occupied the mountains ... when I climbed I was alone .... cut off from the world ...... above the forest ... I watch the fog roll over the peaks and give some mystique .... I expect the dragon to jump out and complete the picture ....

There is a legend related to the Homolje mountains ... That Dragons lived there and buried the collected gold in the belly of the mountain .... The last dragon was seen here in the seventies ... The locals claim that, and they found glowing balls on the mountain for which they they thought they were dragon eggs and did not touch them but bypassed them in a wide arc ...

Maybe I imagined it, but somehow I felt the special energy of the mountain ... once I climbed with the mountaineers to the top called Ježevac (one of the peaks of the Homoljski mountains) but on a sunny day .... And I also felt some mystery .... .

Legend also says that the Dragons fought storms and defended the peasants ... That they flew over the mountains of Homolje and drank at the water source where the Spa Zdrelo is now ....
The blind girl drank the dragon and begged him to leave as soon as possible ...

Spa Zdrelo is a healing spa under the open sky ... according to folk beliefs, hot water springs under the mystical mountain Vulkan. Which was once active but is now shut down .. But at its bottom is still boiling water ....

In such an environment and with such legends, the imagination gets wings ....

More fog that contributes to mysticism .. As if an extinct volcano has started .....

And the dragon is getting ready to come out of the cave and fly over the tops of the mountains, see if anything has changed ...

And finally, the monastery Gornjak, which leans on the mountain ....

Various legends are tied to the monastery Gornjak, Petrovac na Mali ... one is that on every St. George's Day, 06.05, water appears behind the monastery ..... which flows to a bay and the locals collect it with spoons ....
And there is one part when you come to the monastery, you don't hear the sound of water and that place is called Silence ..
There are many more legends ... But these were the most mysterious to me ....

I hope you enjoyed this adventure🥰
