Pobiti Kamani, also known as the Stone Forest or the Stone Desert, is a rock phenomenon located near Varna. It is considered the only desert in Bulgaria and one of few found in Europe. The formations are mainly stone columns between 5 and 7 meters high and from 0.3 to 3 meters thick. There are a number of theories regarding the phenomenon's origin divided roughly into two groups: suggesting an organic or abiotic origin. According to the first, the formations are the result of coral activity, while the latter explain the phenomenon with the prismatic weathering and desertification of the rocks, the formation of sand and limestone concretions, or lower Eocene bubbling reefs.
Unique in the world, the area is now a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.
