Tract Stone Village

Reserve Kamennoe Selo, Kam'yane Selo
Ukraine, Korosten
There are two hypotheses for the formation of such a relief form. According to one of them, the boulders were brought by a glacier, after which their shape changed under the influence of weathering. According to the second hypothesis, the boulders are the remains of the foot of the ancient mountains, formed by the movement of the same glacier and then by weathering for 20,000 years.

At first there were stones relatively small, covered with moss, but then really "gullivers" appeared. Huge boulders are scattered through the forest like toys of a giant. Tall, with round steep sides, in mosses, they were seen everywhere.

There are several legends about this place. According to one of them, rich people lived here in ancient times. But they did not open the door one day to the requests of the poor from the neighboring village for help. At dawn, the huts and other buildings turned to stone. Another legend tells about the battle in this place of Jesus with a dark force. After a long battle, the impure one was cast down to hell. And Jesus, ascending to heaven, took a few steps on the stones, now on one of them there were prints of his feet. The third tells about the "Devil's Mill".
Some stones are shaped like huge millstones. Locals say that the devils built a mill in this place at night. But one day the rooster crowed to the unclean. The devils quit their jobs, and the millstones are piled up here to this day.

Just yesterday, my long-awaited trip to Stone Village took place. And even during the flowering of delicious fragrant azaleas! This is a very interesting place in the Zhytomyr region: plain Polissya, pine, birch, ferns, blueberries, and suddenly, in the middle of all this, huge stone boulders appear, the size of a small house, covered with various mosses and overgrown with grass and strawberries. There are a lot of boulders in the middle of the forest, but they are located quite compactly, besides, you don’t need to wander for hours in search: they lie not very far from residential buildings.
