The Beli Izvorac tufa deposits are found in the River Saska basin in Eastern Serbia, 17 km from the Town of Majdanpek. They were formed under the spring of the same name, which emerges from a short cave 360 m above sea level. Tufa deposits include a vast Tufa terrace with a 16 m high waterfall on its edge. Under the waterfall Tufa deposits descend in cascades till the 278m peak elevation in the length of 290m. These Tufa deposits are considered to be created during Holocene, although the process is intensive even nowadays. As a geomorphologic-hydrologic natural monument the ”Beli Izvorac Tufa Deposits” were proclaimed Serbian geoheritage.
