They ran away from him in to the mountains where the army of dog-heads couldn't follow. On the mountain, high on Krvavec, they sat day and night and looked at the valley and their ruined castle. They cried bitter tears for their father, the giant who was killed by dog-heads. Their tears were bloody and from the top of Krvavec the stream of blood ran to the lowland. That is how the mountain got its name. It is believed among people that white rocks on the slopes which kindly give support 4 to tired traveler are petrified bones of the giant – the father of pagan girls.
