The natural phenomenon, known to local people as Stone Forest or the planted stones (“pobitite kamani” in Bulgarian) spreads across the western part of the Varna Plateau on an area of 50 square kilometers. A small part of the overall complex stands close to the town of Beloslav. The locality is known as the Sand-pit as it was the source of quartz sand derived for the needs of the glass plant at Beloslav.
