Tour Itinerary
Short and realxing walking tour with your guide Patrick. There is not much to say about this place, but a lot to see ...
Located 18 km westwards from Varna there is 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. At that time it was a part of the sea bottom. After the receding of the water the inorganic sediments eroded, thus attaining the marvelous forms we admire today.
Please note: The price of my personal walking tours is 10 Euro per hour + fuel consumption for my driving tours!
