Romania is home to some of the most bizarre and fascinating geological rock formations in Europe. They have been mysteriously shaped by the wind, rain and time, and they trigger both curiosity and fascination. Beyond their geological interest, they are often shrouded in legends, mystery and energetic beliefs and are certainly among the most photographed natural wonders in Romania.
