If you are going there with a car to Devin you will most probably take the road along Vacha and Krichim Dams. The road is very scenic but you should bear in mind that it is full of curves and quite narrow. So try not to speed too much in order to avoid accidents.
Another reason to take it a bit more slowly is if some of the people in the car is having motion sickness. These curves on the road make even people who had never had s problem like this to complain if the driver tries to go with more than 70-80 km/h.
The last reason is that during the last years the road is being under construction... and if it was raining or snowing a lot lately there is a risk of landslides.
What you see on the picture is either a result of a landslide or construction works, I could not understand which of the two but it kept us waiting there for more than 30 min. Be prepared to show patience as well when driving this road :)
