Mysterious place
The nature there is beautiful! Great place to take Instagram worthy photos and enjoy the view. It has however a very mysterious atmosphere and the locals believe there's something magical about this lake.

A unique lake surrounded by mystery (insufficiently studied)
Legend: it is always cold here, no bird song can be heard, no animals come to drink water, no fish is living here, it is dangerous to swim (as people felt dizzy) or stay at night (people got lost). It is called “a bottomless lake of terror” and you can even feel the presence of something supernatural. Well… (further reading only to curious and sceptic people, willing to know the truth) Real facts: we were really cold during our visit. We heard birds singing. It is not advisable to stay for a long time here as radon gas accumulates at the bottom. This is the reason why there is really no absence of any life in the lake, crystal clear water and why people may fell dizzy or sick here. Beautiful nature, unique clear water and environment. Let’s not leave any kind of trash here (especially plastic or cigarette-ends) to save this natural beauty! There are two theories about the origin of the lake: a karst sinkhole or a crater after the fall of a meteorite. Divers reported they’ve found a molten rock, it confirms the meteorite theory.

Really spooky place
It is really spooky place, you can feel energie in this place. My advice : take camping things and stay for a night near second lake and you will see strange dreams.
