Small crack
Nothing special, just a Crack in rock with story. Well, if you go to Koli, check also this one among the others activities.

Not much to see
This site is situated right next to the hotel building on top of Koli. There's really not much to see: basically just a crack in a rock and some carvings from the beginning of 20th century when Koli started to attract visitors. The legend makes this more interesting though. Not visible when covered in snow.
