HOW THE KARST CAME TO BE
(The Karst~rocky place in Slovenia)
God created the world. On the top of Mt. Nanos he had planty of rocks left. He pondered where to put them. He looked around and it suddenly dawned on him. He called the angel, his right hand, and ordered him to pick up the rocks and put them in a sack. Then he send the angel over the Vipava valley to the sea. There he was to throw the rocks in to water.
When the angel reached the top of Kobdilje, the devil appeared suddenly, probably from the Kobdilje hell. He made a hole in the sack. The angel did not notice anything for a long time, and the rocks were slowly dropping out of the sack right over our land.
That is how Karst came to be.
