Pobiti Kamani, Stone forest near Varna, Bulgaria
The protected area contains multiple limestone columns scattered across 70 square kilometers, reaching heights between 5 to 7 meters and diameters from 30 centimeters to 3 meters.
The stone formations date back approximately 50 million years to the Lower Eocene period when the area formed the bottom of an ancient sea.
Scientists propose two main theories about the origin of these formations: either through coral reef development or through natural erosion of limestone deposits.
Visitors can reach the site by taking bus number 43 from Varna to Slanchevo village or by driving 18 kilometers west of Varna on the old Sofia road.
The geological formation includes hollow columns filled with sand, arranged in multiple tiers, creating distinct groups named Suludzhite, Slanchevski, Strashimirovski, and Beloslavski.
