In the Depths of the Five Finder
Mountains, there is a legend that is said to stretch back
thousands of years and still lives on today. this is a legend
intertwined with the existence of God, betrayal of blessing
and its results. The Mother -Daughter rocks are situated on
the southern slopes of the five Finger Mountains on the road
between the villages of Degirmenlik, Alevkayasi and Kalavac.
|
The formation of those rocks,
which have become notorious among the locals of the region,
and their fascinating legend, lives on today. We visited the
vast outskirts of the Five finger Mountains to search for the
rocks where the legend is said to have taken place thousands
of years ago. We advance into a sharp rock formation,
following veterans of the Five Finger Mountains, the Muhtar of
Kalavac Omer Merakli and Mustafa Merakli. There is a strong
raging wind, and the temperature compared to Lefkosa is at
least 7-8 degrees lower.
The Unrivalled Beauty of
Bufavento
As we advanced to further the a
higher altitude we found ourselves emerged in the clouds. We
lifted our heads up among the clouds facing the magnificence
of Bufavento Castle. The magnificence of the castle become
even more apparent with the rays of sun sifting through the
clouds, illuminating the castle. The thousand year old
disappearing and re -emerging among the clouds. It is the
season of the awakening of the deaf snake. I can't quite
distinguish the sound, whether it's the sound of the snake or
the sound of the blowing wind. Because of this we cautiously
advanced on our way. The beauty of Buffavento Castle dwells on
my mind.
I have never seen Buffavento on
the three pearls of the Five finger mountains
St Hilarion Castle Buffavento
Castle Kantara is such glorious colour and grandeur. Although
we were extremely far down below, we took a short break in our
walk and I began taking photos. In tranquil mood we continued
on our Journey.
