Roughly 18km due west of Varna on either side of the Devnya road, the desolate scrubland is interrupted by scores of curious stone columns standing as high as 7m, known as pobiti kamani or "standing stones", usually translated as the Stone Forest . These strange, snake-haunted formations were created around fifty million years ago when fragments of two chalk strata gradually bonded together in the intervening sand layer, by a process analogous to stalactite formation. Nowadays the area is a popular spot for picnics and leisurely hikes. Getting there is difficult unless you have your own transport: the region is best accessed by travelling west out of Varna along the old main road to Devnya, ignoring the Devnya-bound A2 motorway which runs parallel to the north.
