When the summer rains pass and the level of river Bosnia falls, on one part of the river's course, a few round rocks appear. Each one of them, according to folk belief has its specific name: Zelenjak, Kusovac and Herdekovac.
According to mythological stories underneath the rock Zelenjak lives a scary dwarf, with big eyes and green skin, which is named by the people, since the old days, green čovuljak (little man). He is an evil water creature, a scary creature, which stalks lone swimmers, especially children, hidden in the brush close to the shore or underneath the water's surface. As soon as he spots a lone child swimming in the river he darts towards him, he enchants the child with his hypnotic powers and drags him to the bottom of the river, where, according to belief, his chambers are located. There are not many individuals who managed to escape the death embrace of this peculiar monster and share their traumatic experience with others.
