According to the legend, Bosko Jugovic came to heal his wounds straight from the Battle of Kosovo, because he knew that this mountain heals the greatest sickness with its clear springs and herbs. He arrived at the hill above Ivanjica where they took care of his wounds with herbs and balms, but he couldn't be rescued. The legend says he died there and he was buried at the same spot. Many centuries later, a church was built there under the shade of oaks which was planted by people of this area in memory of all Jugovics.
