Devil's Wall

Devil's Wall is a megalithic rock formation extending 500 meters in length and reaching 12 meters high, with a consistent width of 2 meters throughout. The stones are bonded together by a red substance that runs between them.

The formation dates to prehistoric times, though the area became known through centuries of local treasure-hunting narratives. Stories emerged of hidden treasures supposedly buried by Alexander the Great in tunnels near the site.

The formation's name comes from a folk tale about supernatural forces competing to control the Bregalnica River that flows through Ovche Pole valley. These stories have been passed down among local communities for generations as part of the region's oral tradition.

Reaching the formation requires following a hiking trail from Bogoslovec hill, which provides views across the Ovche Pole valley and surrounding ridges. The path demands suitable footwear and moderate physical effort, particularly in wet conditions.

The stones display an unusual white-darkened coloration that contrasts sharply with the red-yellow hues of the surrounding rocks. This distinctive appearance results from natural mineralization processes that have acted over thousands of years.
