Svenska: Ravinen i Gullmarsskogens naturreservat i Lysekils kommun, Sverige. Ravinen är omkring 10-15 m djup och runt 400 m lång. I bottnen rinner en back och längs sidorna samt uppe längs kanten växer höga träd som gör att ravinen nästan alltid befinner sig i dunkel. Även mitt på dagen når solen endast ned i ljusa fläckar. Under 1600-talet då malning beskattades av Kronan, fanns här en hemlig, undangömd enkel kvarn, en s k skvaltkvarn eller "grekisk kvarn", där bönderna i trakten malde sin säd utan att behöva betala skatt på det.
English: Ravine in Gullmarsskogen Nature Reserve in Lysekil Municipality, Sweden.The ravine is about 10–15 m (33–49 ft) and 400 m (1,300 ft) long. A stream runs along the bottom and tall trees grow on the steep slopes as well as on the rim of the ravine. The ravine is in an almost perpetual dusk, even on sunny days, the sun only pierce the foliage with bright spots of light. During the 17th century, when all mill activities were taxed by the government, there was a simple clandestine watermill a so called "Greek Mill", down in the ravine where local farmers would grind their grain without having to pay tax for it.
