Pobiti kamani, Varna, Bulgaria

If you’re in Varna, Bulgaria, and you feel like you want to do something different than walking along the cliffs and enjoying the beach, you should definitely search for Pobiti Kamani. It’s not the easiest place to get to. We took a cab and it was waiting for us on the side of the road for over an hour to take us back into town. I don’t think there are any busses getting there, but then again it was out of season. Considering the conversion rates, the cab wasn’t terribly expensive.

The area is covered by weird rock formations. It’s also called The Stone Desert and technically it is the only desert in Bulgaria. Most of the rocks are actually columns shaped supposedly by the winds. Geologists can’t agree on the origin of the rocks, which didn’t matter that much to me as the walk among them was exciting enough.
