Legend has it that in the past, this pool was a meeting point for witches. One day they had to call a midwife because one of the witches had to give birth, and as a reward, the witch gave her some raw lentils. The midwife, angry at such bad retribution, threw them into the Ter river. The next day, when the midwife put on her apron, she saw that a lentil had stuck to her and… it had turned into gold! For this reason this waterfall is also called "Witches waterfall".
