Slona (The Elephant) Rock Phenomenon

The Slona rock phenomenon is situated in the western part of the beautiful Rhodopi mountain. It is located on the left shore of the Vacha river, a short distance before it flows into the Shiroka Laka river, immediately after the road fork on the section Devin-Smolyan, before the village of Nastan begins. On this place, the amazing natural forces have moulded a whimsical rock shape, resembling the figure of an elephant, which is where the name of the phenomenon comes from. According to scientists, Slona was formed either as a result of the demolition of an ancient cave by the river, or as a result of an earthquake.
