Beli Izvorac, Natural monument near Majdanpek, Serbia
Beli Izvorac is a natural monument featuring a 16-meter waterfall that cascades over mineral-rich formations, creating a network of pools and smaller falls across about 300 meters. The formation shows multiple layers of deposits built up over time through natural processes.
The site formed through geological processes spanning millions of years, with mineral deposits accumulating in two distinct periods. This layering records the continuous reshaping of the landscape by water and mineral deposition.
The location holds spiritual meaning for nearby communities, with local traditions speaking of supernatural beings drawn to the waterfall. These stories continue to shape how people experience and visit the place today.
The site is reached via a marked trail that also passes nearby caves and climbs toward a viewpoint at higher elevation. Visit on days with moderate water flow for the best experience, as heavy rain significantly increases the waterfall's force.
Below the main waterfall, water seeps through mineral deposits creating a natural tunnel with striking white mineral formations visible on the walls. This underground feature often goes unnoticed by visitors despite being one of the site's most remarkable aspects.
