My dear friends,
Here we are in another adventure. The name of the adventure itself is certainly very interesting and a bit scary, but in fact behind that name lies a beautiful forest magic with waterfalls, trees, in a word, all the beauty of nature.
I think that the greatest connection between this place and the name itself is coming to the Devil's Pass. The narrow road we descended to the bottom is really devilish in every way. I normally drive a car, and I have no problem driving anywhere, but I have to admit to you that even though I was a co-driver, I was ready to get out of the car and continue on foot. :))
As I already stated, the road is too narrow, and there is a forest abyss on the other side. As a result, I spent the entire five-minute ride looking ahead. Not to mention the fact that a car came by and we had to pass it. All of this suffering is worthwhile because when you achieve your goal, all of the tension and anxiety will be worth it.
Going to nature is usually a good idea, and Croatia has plenty of stunning resorts to choose from. Zeleni Vir that conceals beautiful environment, fantastic walking routes and exploring pathways.
The notable landscapes Vražji prolaz and Zeleni vir are located not far from Skrad and are united in a unique protected area.
In 1962, the resort was designated as a special geomorphological reserve with a 200-hectare area due to its extraordinary and unique beauty and geological importance. Apart from its natural beauty, Munjara, the first hydroelectric power facility in the area, was completed in 1921.
Vražji prolaz (Devil's Passage) is one of Gorski kotar's most magnificent canyons, measuring around 800 meters long and just 2 meters broad in certain places. It is the consequence of water eating stone for thousands of years, creating an irregular course. The Jasle stream, which is also the name of the surrounding forest complex, runs through the canyon.
There is a hole in the rock at the end of the Devil's Passage, 14 meters above the Jasle stream, which leads to the Husband's House cave (Muževa hiša) I will write about it too, it's roughly 200 meters long, and there's a hall with a pond at the end that creates a deafening noise that bounces off the rocks of the canyon. The canyon is crisscrossed by bridges and galleries, and below them, the Jasla stream makes a thunderous cacophony that echoes off the canyon walls. It's thought that the noise is what gave this canyon its intriguing name. Horseshoe bats that are strictly protected species overwinter in the cave and must not be disturbed when visiting.
Unfortunately at the time I went it was not possible to go to the cave due to the heavy rains that were there before the trip.
Legend and story of "Husband's House"
There are two types of legends surrounding the cave's name. It was named after a small man named "Možak" who hid in a cave at the end of the Devil's Pass and assisted people like a good forest spirit, turning into branches and roots that took organic forms, according to an ancient story that is slowly being forgotten by the people. Second story tells us that a man called "husband" was hiding there before the Turks invaded or others exploited him, hence the name "husband's house" or "house."
Here is some macro photography I took.
Zeleni vir (345 m) is a powerful spring at the bottom of a tiny cave at the foot of a seventy-meter-high, attractive layered rock down which the stream falls like a white curtain, showering thousands of droplets on the entrance.

Essentially, these are incredibly high, steep, slick trails that give the impression that they reach the sky beneath the clouds, hidden from view. The route is gentle at first, and the canyon is broader than it appears. The canyon narrows as you enter it, and the trail on the right side of the canyon is increasingly cut into the rock.
Because the route is wet, even on the driest days, suitable shoes are required. Walking cables are fastened to the rock in situations where extra caution is required.
The canyon itself is, in short - fascinating. In the narrowest place it is only two meters wide (narrow).
I'd want to express my gratitude for your support and the kind words you leave in the comments. From one post to another, more and more.
This is something I enjoy doing and it makes me happy. My heart is full even when I receive tremendous support from even more wonderful people.
Thank you once again for everything.
