Day Trip to Devil’s Town

Devil’s Town, one of the many wonders of the world is situated in southernmost part of Serbia, 17 miles from the town of Kursumlija, on the slopes of Mt Radan, which boasts a large number of mineral and thermal springs. Due to a high concentration of minerals, the whole area is destitute of vegetation. The land there easily erodes and creates mischievous landscapes. Devil’s Town apparently consists of 202 earthen figures, Six feet to 45 feet tall, all wearing caps on the top. Actually, those are andesite plates – rocks created in an intense volcanic eruption of millions of years ago. For centuries, they have been pressing the soil, which gradually changed its appearance and was transformed into figures of various odd shapes and dimensions.
