You need a guide otherwise its just like looking at some stone rocks, needs some investment from the local government tourist agency as its got potential to be a good tourist attraction ..... if your really bored then take a trip
Enjoyed a few hours looking at all the stones in the forest trying to see the connection to the book very good for children playing hide and seek. Nice safe place
Very interesting geological phenomena whose origins are hypothesized as microbial oxidation around seepages of natural gas. The origin of cementation is around 50 million years ago and has been exposed consequently the erosion of the sediments unconsolidated . This area has a wide extension and is unique in Bulgaria. It is worthy of a visit.
I love this place. It is amazing, full of energy. With interesting forms and interesting story for some stones. The guide will explain you what will happened when you find the stone with heart.
This piece of landscape is so beautiful and unique that I totally recommend a visit! You can walk around on the area for probably an hour. Entrance staff is really friendly. Entrance fee: 3 Leva. The only bad thing about it is, that it is hard to reach with public transport. There is only the bus 43, which goes to the next town Slunchevo. It is still 3 km to walk from there and busses are not frequent. Check here for timetable: http://gtvarna.free.bg/liniq43.htm . I tried to go there on a Saturday and the bus did not come at all! Somebody offered to take us with him to slunchevo for 3 Leva. The way back was not a problem at all, because there are enough other tourists willing to share their taxi ;-) Bring water and maybe also food! There is only countryside around!
it is possible to cast your mind back to how it would of looked submerged in times gone bye. you could easily wander around this for 15 minutes, just enough time to take pictures or use your imagination and soak up some atmosphere. An hour would be long enough unless you have children who could play in the sand and around the columns
This is the place what you should visit in Bulgaria. Great views and peaceful place.Not far from Varna.
The Stone Forest is not like the Crystal Forest in Arizona. You won't find beautifully petrified trees. This stone forest is rock left behind when the sea receded. 10 to 15 minutes stretching your legs and shooting a handful of picts is all you need.
The bus drives you out the hiway to this "so called" attractionand lets you out to wander around.No tourist development, just a grouping of stone pillars.Don't waste your time or your money here. Period!There are other things to see and do in and around Varna which are much more interesting and educational.
18 km west of Varna on the highway to Sofia is a very interesting geological site, actually a stone forest. In Bulgarian: Pobiti Kamani. Several hundred meters of stone pillars, mostly round and about 6-8 meters high form a strange forest dating 50 million years ago.So its worth a trip to see this place.
