Legend
Once upon a time, there was an ancient monastery here inhabited by monks. Due to the sins of the monks, the monastery froze, turning to stone or petrifying. Afterwards, a cave formed here, where robbers hid their treasures. Anyone who tried to retrieve the treasures was blown out of the cave by a hurricane wind, and so no one could enter. The area is very beautiful and picturesque; you can stay overnight and fish here. You won't encounter other tourists here, as the area is vast and it's easy to get lost.
