There are many amazingly beautiful places in Belaya Kalitva, covered with ancient legends. One of them is the Ridge Mountains, or, as the people call them, the Two Sisters … And indeed the mountains, like twin sisters, are exactly the same: both in height and width, and even the ridges along their peaks run symmetrically. According to legend, two sisters turned into twin mountains from unhappy love …
Real treasure
A wealthy Cossack from the village of Ust-Belokalitvinskaya had two twin daughters. They grew up kind, obedient and hard-working. Parents could not get enough of their daughters. And as the girls began to grow up, their extraordinary beauty blossomed. Matchmakers from all over the area became frequent visitors to the Cossack's house. The old man realized that his daughters were a real treasure, and decided not to rush to marry them off, but to find more bred and richer suitors. While he was choosing future sons-in-law, the sisters managed to meet their first love. But here's the trouble: the girls liked the poor guys, but they were kind and prominent. The father told the young men: they say, poor people are no match for my beauties, when you get rich, then we will talk about weddings. And he set them a condition: "If you get countless treasures, hidden in Karaul Mountain in ancient times, so be it, I will give you my daughters." The old Cossack knew that this was not an easy matter: those treasures were charmed and simply would not be given.
The girls, when they found out about their father's condition, became displeased: they realized that they would not see more of their loved ones. All day long they are filled with tears, lost weight, yearned. The old man was worried: well, how will the daughters pay all their eyes, they will grow faint with grief, who will need it then? And he quickly found suitors for them - two rich and stingy widowers. Those of their former wives starved to death, and now, in their old age, they are happy to marry young beauties. The sisters strained even more than ever before, fell at their father's feet, and prayed: “Father, you gave your word to give us in marriage to our dear ones, if they get the treasure from Karaul Mountain. Let's wait some more! Don't ruin us! " The Cossack chuckled unkindly: "Forever your beloved will not get gold from the mountain, even if they dig it for a hundred years!" And he appointed a wedding day.
Power of love
So the guests are rushing to the wedding feast. Satisfied old grooms rub their hands. The priest is already walking into the yard. When the father suddenly discovered: the daughters were gone! Escaped! The Cossack jumped on his horse and chased the fugitives. At the very Donets, he caught up with the recalcitrant daughters. He wound the scythes of disobedient women around his hand and wanted to let the horse gallop … Suddenly the sky darkened, a heavenly thunder rang out, a blinding lightning struck right in front of the horse's hooves. The frightened horse reared up, threw the rider to the ground. From the blow, he lost consciousness. And when he woke up, he saw that he was lying at the foot of two high mountains, and with his hand he was holding on to one of the stone ridges. Daughters are nowhere to be seen. Where did the mountains come from, there have never been … But how similar they are to each other! And suddenly the Cossack realized that it was his daughters who were petrified with grief. It dawned on him what trouble he had caused by his self-interest. The father is sobbing, beating against the stone cliffs, asking for forgiveness. The Two Sisters are silent.
In the meantime, their lovers were lucky. When lightning struck from the sky, Karaul-mountain split from the wrath of the heavenly and the treasures were given into the hands of the young men. But they were not happy about gold: for them it was only a bridge to happiness. The young men hurried to their brides. But as soon as they crossed the Donets, on the way of the high city, two mountains, nowhere from nowhere, became a joy. The young men began to climb the steep slopes, but suddenly they dropped a bag of treasures. The braid untied, the gold fell, rolled down the slope right into the dark waters of the Donets - now it is impossible to find, not to collect the precious treasure. The young men understood that there would be no happiness for them, and, in despair, rushed after the accursed gold from the steep downward. However, they did not crash, they were saved by the power of a girl's love. They were supported by the mountains, they were not allowed to perish, being lifted into the air. Those young men turned into steppe eagles and since then they have been circling over the mountains, looking for scattered treasures in order to regain their loved ones … Many have tried to find lost gold in those places, but no one has found it yet. And over the Donets, the Two Sisters rise as before. And they seem to say with their silence that love is dearer than all the treasures in the world …
