I have to admit that many of the places we visited on this trip I had never heard of before. Now that we are back and I have been looking at our many, many photos, I just stand in awe of this beautiful, diverse world that our Heavenly Father created for us.
Near Varna, Bulgaria is an area known as the "Stone Forest".
Hundreds of naturally occurring columns dot the landscape. Their arrangement seems too organized to be naturally occurring but geologist agree that they are.
Ranging in size from 15-24 feet high and 3 to 12 feet around, many believe that they give off a supernatural energy!
Near Varna, Bulgaria is an area known as the "Stone Forest".
They are hollow cylinders sitting in a sandy, beach-like field yet they are 12 miles from the sea. Many of them have filled up with sand over the centuries.
I could share the complicated scientific hypothesis concerning how they were formed. Sludge and gases and flues through the sediment causing paleo-hydrocarbon seep....but I prefer the less scientific explanations.
Possibly they formed the colonnade for Poseidon's Atlantis!
Or maybe giants were employed by the Bulgar King to build his near-by capital city. The giants carried the massive stones from far and wide until the king declared the city complete. Then the giants simply dropped them where they stood, forming the "Stone Forest" in the process.
Whatever you believe about the place, it was a unique stop on our trip!
