The canyon of the river Belica, comprising three smaller tributaries, is a proper oasis among the wild rocks that form the bedrock of the me- dieval town of Svrljig. Through the rocks, this river cuts a small but im- pressive canyon, consisting of specific cauldrons, forms created by the retention and whirling movement of water. There are more than 10 cauldrons of different lengths and widths, connected by small water- falls, while the largest cauldron has the greatest depth: 3.5m. This pristine pearl of nature and hidden gem of this area has retained its purity and beauty thanks to its inaccessibility. The cauldrons are breathtaking, both with their exquisite beauty and the temperature of the water, which literally takes your breath away even during the sum- mer. A small dam was built at the point where the Belica empties into the Svrljiški Timok, so locals, as well as numerous guests from Svrljig and the surrounding area, swim there even today. The elders also called this place “Antin vir”, while the entire stretch from the emergence of the water from the spring and from the Belica to the Timok is today called Banjica. The water is crystal clear and potable, and the entire landscape seems as though it was created for adventurers.

Reka Belica je ponornica, tokom sušnog perioda nestaje u zemlji i živopisni kotlovi ostaju bez vode do prvih većih kiša The River Belica is a sinkhole that disappears underground during the dry season, while the picturesque cauldrons are left without water
until the first major rains.
