The Macocha abyss in Moravian Karst (30kilometres from Brno, the Czech Republic) and view from the top to bottom, it is 138.4 meters depth. There you can find two deep lakes (the deeper has over 50 meters). The name was given thanks to legend about stepmother ("macecha" in Czech) who pushed her stepson into the abyss. The boy fortunately was caught by a branch and was saved by passing by man who heard his crying. Villagers when they learned what happened, threw the stepmother into the abyss as a revenge.
