Devil's Rock - Hida, Salaj County

On my way from Cluj-Napoca to Jibou, I have noticed a strange rock....

The geological formation is called the "devil's rock". It is surrounded by local legends, one of them being the root of it's name: it is said that a demon/devil was once furious with the villagers and brought the rock in the village, when a rooster started it's early morning call and the devil dropped the rock, scared of the coming morning and the possible power of the rooster.
