The Valley of Jens (Kal-e Jen)

"Kāl-e Jen" or " the Valley of Jen" is the name given to a mysterious valley near the village "Azmighan," to the north of Tabas, Khorasan-e Jonoobi. "Kāl" is the name given to pathways created by water attrition and "Jen" functions as a descriptive title added to Kal by local people.

But why the descriptive title, "Jen"? Experts believe that the uncanny, frightening formations of the valley are the main reason to attract this spooky title. Local people have many horror stories to tell about this valley, all inspired by its bewitching appearance. Dark crypts, incongruent shapes, windy paths and the sky hidden behind the towering walls of the valley all contribute to human imagination going wild and creating out-of-ordinary tales.

"People know here as the house of Jens. Some elders remember a time when the news was spread about Jens kidnapping beautiful girls of the village. From that time, no pregnant woman is allowed to enter the valley. Furthermore, all the mal-formed babies born in the village are considered to poor victims of tricks played on them by Jens. All in all, no one, under no condition, should step into this land." But, if you are into this kind of adventures, you can go there and have a look at the valley.
