    Tips

    October 26, 2022

    There is a legend among the people about the great love of a girl and a young man who were petrified by evil fate on Nevista. Nevista's rock is also a pass, once the only link between Primorje and Zabiokovlje, and a beautiful viewpoint.

    According to legend, a girl somewhere "from above", probably from Dalmatian Zagora, was supposed to get married in Primorje. The mother was against that love, and above all against her daughter marrying someone the family did not choose. Maybe it was a problem that the young man is from Primorac, that is, from a poor area!? Be that as it may, the mother sent her daughter off with the words: When she saw the sea, she must have been petrified! Despite these terrible words, the wedding procession set off, led by the groom and the bride on horseback, and not realizing the power of their mother's curse. However, when the merry company reached the top of the hill above Brel, the curse came true. Evidence of this is rocks in the shape of horses with newlyweds, cakes and water barrels made of clay. If you look carefully, you can see the bride's veil, which at that moment the wind took off her head, as well as the whole procession of the wedding guests who followed them, and today it is a little harder to see them if you don't look for them specifically, because the pine tree has been for decades quite grown up.
