Interesting nature's phenomenon over 200 year's old. These columns are very fragile and still growing so be advise coming near them. There is viewpoint from the back side. Road leading there is not good.

The formation consists of what appear to be geologically recent sediments deposited within a fluvial environment, found resting at the surface above the dominating Mesozoic limestones of the region. Alternating layers of soft mud and loosely consolidated gravel beds have been slowly eroded by the action of rainwater, frost and wind. The harder, more resistive gravel material caps the soft mud, protecting it from the elements and slowing its rate of erosion. Several pinnacles can be observed across the location, as well as a deep canyon on the opposing side of the formation. The pinnacles range in size from a few decimetres to over ten metres. Besides being a geological curiosity, the ‘Sand Pyramids’ formation is a fun place to explore, with the ability to walk right up to the pinnacles and the edge of the canyon (if you dare). Despite being younger and on a smaller scale to similar geological formations found in Colorado, USA, or Cappadocia, Turkey, the Bosnian ‘Sand Pyramids’ are well worth a visit and further speak of the rich natural beuty found acroos Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The scenery reminiscent of the Wild West, unbeknownst to many locals, is hidden in the green mountainous terrain of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A rare, unique geo-morphological phenomenon, the pyramid-shaped rocks were formed through the process of erosion that took place over the centuries. These fascinating sand formations are being constantly reshaped by wind, rain, frost and heat. A handy wooden stairway built right next to it allows for a great view of the area that seems to be out of this world...
