Velikaya Krakotka. The Krakotsky Stone and the spring.

There are several natural monuments in the village of Velikaya Krakotka and near the town. There is a spring with a healing vase in the center of the settlement. There is a republican geological geomorphological natural monument "Krakotskaya Ridge" on the outskirts of the village. According to scientists, it appeared 200 thousand years ago during the Ice Age. The Krakotsky boulder is also known throughout the surrounding area, which was also attracted here by a glacier.

The stone is located on the way to the village of Selevichi. The locals call the huge granite boulder the Krakotka Kamalyga. And nearby there is another stone - a boulder with a notch on the surface. Researchers suggest that pagan rituals were performed here in pagan times.

There is a spring with medicinal water in the center of the village. According to legend, this neighborhood once belonged to landowner Skurat. He had a daughter who had eye pain. One day an elder came to Krakotka and stopped at a local mountain from which water flowed, and he drank this water, washed himself with it, and immediately his eyes began to see better. The elder came to the village and told the townspeople about this miracle. And they told to Skurat. The landowner began to wash his daughter with healing water, and after a while she began to see clearly. Then Skurat made a well on the mountain, and since then the local spring has been called the Skurat spring. To date, the spring has been consecrated in honor of John the Baptist. The source is located next to the local river Jordanka.

According to local legend, the name of the stream comes from a tragic event, when a man named Jordanas was killed in this area.

There is a big celebration at the spring on July 7, on the day of the Nativity of John the Baptist, and a lot of people gather on Ivan Kupala fest.
