Glade of Wizards and Devil's finger

Popular rumor ascribes anomalous properties to this place. Someone saw a UFO, someone believes that evil forces live here, and still others claim that space and time are bent at this point.

According to legend, in this place the witches gathered on the Sabbath and here, not only animals, but also people (young girls) were sacrificed to the gods. They say that their souls are still toiling and appear at night in the form of lights. And they are hiding in the cave of the Falls Maiden tears. Locals say that on the day of the summer solstice and on the night of July 7, sorcerers still gather in the glade, live there for weeks, feeding on the gifts of nature, and are charged with energy coming from the depths of the earth in these places.

They also say that if you spend the night on the Glade of sorcerers, and make a wish for the night, it will come true.

Devil's finger is a giant boulder standing upright, about 7-9 meters high. From here between the trunks of ancient pines, often with bizarre curvature, a view of the green forest distance.

Folk legends say that in this place an old man in a red shirt appears at night and carries with him a jug of gold. Allegedly sometime in these places robbers hid treasure. And the place of the treasure is indicated by the Devil's finger.

In the last photo - the place where you need to go to the Glade of sorcerers. The original gate. And before you enter, you need to "clean" the stone at the entrance. Finger, or a stick - not specified.

This place is located about 3 km from the village of Peredovoy, Samara region.
