This forest of stones fossilized 50 million years ago lies on the old road to Sofia.
On the old road to Sofia there is an amazing site: a forest of stones fossilized 50 million years ago, in the shape of mushrooms, menhirs or... phallus, with the most incongruous paces. Called "petrified forest" for their layout, these stone fossils, 5 to 10 m high and up to 2 m in diameter, are the result of an extremely rare geological phenomenon, whose origin is debated: either organic (algae and corals) or mineral. To be seen!

Le site se situe non loin de la ville de Varna (environ 10-15 km), pour y accéder il est indispensable d'y aller en voiture. Lorsqu'il y a qqn à l'accueil, on peut avoir une brochure, mais ce serait bien d'avoir des plaques ou des panneaux à proximité des pierres pour se repérer, connaître leur âge approximatif... Certaines pierres auraient des vertus (fertilité...), il serait intéressant de savoir d'où viennent ces croyances. Promenade agréable en tout cas.
Interesting, a little signs to find some " lacks; arbres" specific
