If I had known that my relaxing Sunday walk would turn into a sad experience, I probably never would have taken the path that led to the abandoned Spitzer Castle. Although I don't like experiences that leave a bitter taste and cause sadness, I find them worthwhile. My curiosity always prevails, and so it was when I slipped through the hole in the metal fence to approach the castle that caught my attention while driving on the road to the picnic area in Beocin town, in the north of Serbia.
One of the things I liked about arriving at the town of El Chalt茅n is that it was a place prepared to receive visitors. At the bus station there was a tourist information center, where they gave us brochures with information on all the trekking we could do during our stay there. More than 100 km of beautiful trails between the mountains start from this place, and we went to do some of them. Still testing our fitness, my cousin and I decided to do another of the short trails, which would take only two hours one way and we might see a small hidden waterfall at the end 鉂わ笍.
Adventure!!! For thousands of centuries, the gods are sleeping! Trekking through the mountains and jungles and kayaking on a raft to reach your destination - Devtakhum in Rawangchari Upazila of Bandarban is the meeting place of these three. The word Khum means reservoir. According to locals, gods are born or gods reside here hence the name Devtakhum. According to the locals, the depth of this khum is 50-80 feet in places and it is about 600 feet in length. It is the largest and most prolific of all khums in Bandarban.
