The word varos (town-grad; varos is old-fashioned)is often heard among our people.”It is a nice town”. “I am going to town”. “He was in town…” Even though it is of Hungarian origin and originally referred to a fortified settlement, today is usually understood as a small town. In the sense of visual perception natural forms can also appear as a town, usually in the early evenings at sunset and the shapes become soft, and glitter towards horizon. One such town, almost as a medieval fortification without people was named Djavolja Varos. It is situated in South Serbia, in the region of Toplice, at the bottom of the Radan mountain, in the valley of Yellow (Mill) stream, of a short right tributary of Velika Kosanica. It is 27 km far from Kursumlija.
According to oral tradition there are several fairy-tales and peoples’ stories, which our predecessors used to describe this unusual phenomenon at the bottom of  the Radan mountain. One of them is:

Once upon a time very modest, peaceful and dedicated to their faith people lived at this place. This disturbed devil so he prepared one spring as “devil’s water” in order to make them forget their family relations. In time, since the people drank water from that spring, intoxicated people decided to arrange a marriage between a brother and a sister, so they set off with them towards the church to have a wedding. At that point a fairy started to pray to God to prevent this incest. God heard her prayer, brought heaven closer to the earth, a strong and cold wind blew and turned all people into stone together with the bride and groom.

Even if miracles do happen, then they are not only a part of people’s imagination but a form of nature as well. Specific shapes in relief, a group of long, spindle-shaped pillars with stone caps on the top which are usually marked as earth pyramids or towers named Djavolja Varos.
