The lake is located on the mountain Kukavica at the foot of the volcanic cone Oblik. According to legend, there is a hidden treasure in the lake to this day. Namely, at the time of the withdrawal of an Ottoman caravan, which was made up of Turks, their wives “bullas” and loads of gold, people were walking through this area. As they crossed this lake, the entire caravan sank, as if in quicksand.
