There are three houses abandoned in this area. Those houses are only ones arround there and they are in complete ruins. The area served long time ago for agriculture, but low quality land and general poverty made young ones leave the area, looking for jobs in towns, so only older ones stayed. By time, they passed, and houses remained unclaimed. Step by step, they became ruins and today you can only see stone walls, a lot of bushes taking control of surroundings. There are no signs of wooden frames of doors or windows. The only information I could get is that the last house was left empty in late 70's.
The access is very good, there is a dirt road passing by houses.
