From Mythology to Legends
The Journey in the Land of Wolves, the land of Wonders, Mythology and Legends. The Legend of the Devil Waterfall: In the heart of the Hyperborean Valley, where mist dances among the ancient trees, lies the fabled Devil Waterfall. According to local lore, this spectacular cascade was formed centuries ago by the tears of a heartbroken sorceress, whose lover was taken by the dark forces of the Devil himself.
As the tale goes, the sorceress, desperate to save her beloved, ventured into the depths of the forest, where she encountered a sinister being. In exchange for her lover’s return, she had to surrender her own heart. Torn between love and despair, she agreed, and in that moment, the ground trembled, and the waterfall was born—its waters flowing with her sorrow. Villagers say that on moonlit nights, the sound of rushing water echoes the sorceress’s lament, and those who listen closely can hear whispers of lost love carried by the wind. Many believe the waterfall possesses mystical properties, granting wishes to those pure of heart while punishing those with dark intentions.
Over time, the waterfall became a sacred site, attracting adventurers and seekers from far and wide. They come not only to marvel at its beauty but also to pay homage to the enduring spirit of the sorceress and the love that transcends even the darkest of fates. Thus, the legend of the Devil’s Waterfall endures, reminding all who visit that love, though often fraught with challenges, has the power to inspire and transform, even in the face of the greatest evils.
Tomorrow, in our Journey in the Land of Wolves, our first stop will be the Banița Gorges. After a brief storytelling session about 👑 A Tale of Divinity and Kingship 👑 we will continue to one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Transylvania — the Devil’s Waterfall located just outside the city of Vulcan in Hunedoara, a must-see for any nature enthusiast.
