Located
18 km westwards from Varna they are one of the most incredible
natural phenomena in Bulgaria. The natural stone pillars
- some reaching 6 metres high, some up to 12 metres across
at their base are known as "the petrified forest".
Some columns resemble animals, others remind you of frozen
fountains or cascades. Several rows of columns create
the impression that each is made up of two cones balancing
on their sharp points. The prevailing theory is that the
"stone forest" near Varna was formed some 50 million years
ago.
