There where was the Fužine of Prevalje Farska village and Guštanj once extended, there used to be a lake. On the Temeln top at the banks of the lake was the home of a nobleman who had three beautiful daughters. The first was called Maria, the second Barbara and the third Rozalija. The daughters enjoyed riding a boat on the surface of the lake. The visited the nobleman on the other northern side of the lake where the railway tracks run today. One evening when they were returning home a terrible storm caused high waves on the lake and shook their boat like a walnut shell. There was no hope for them and all three daughters drowned.

The nobleman ordered his servants to find his children but it was all in vain. There was not even the smallest trace of the girls. The nobleman swore that he would build shrines where they found his daughters. A large otter appeared and ate through a large rock in the gorge at Guštanj so that the water could flow away. The rock still lies here in Meža today and it is called Votla peč (Hollow rock). Underneath it runs the river Meža.
