Located in the south of Yakutia in Russia's Siberia region and stretching for 40 kilometers along the banks of the Lena river, stone forests are a natural area and beauty surrounded by rocks similar to skyscrapers 100-200 meters high. When you take a closer look at this stone forest, which only looks like a wall from afar, you will be amazed by its beauty!

Located in a place in Siberia that has not yet met civilization, Lena's Stone Forests require another 3-day journey after reaching Moscow. Locals help those who want to see the Stone Forests. A trip by boat takes 3 days and is definitely a sight to behold.

Stone Forests, which give a lot of information about life, are truly fascinating with the appearance of fossilized stones. The formation of the organic world emerges with the stones taken from this forest.

Watching the sun rise and set between the different pillars is literally amazing!

According to legend, there is a magnificent palace on the banks of the Lena River. This palace belongs to a dragon who terrified the natives. One day, the dragon kidnaps a beautiful girl and hides it in her palace. The fiancee of the kidnapped girl fights the dragon to save her. The young man slays the dragon, but then the palace turns into stone for the young man and his fiancee. Such is the story of Lena's stone pillars.

Millions of years ago, in the place of Yakutia Forests, there was the sea. At that time, when great changes were experienced on the earth, as a result of the changing geological structure, the bottom of the sea turned to the rocks along the banks of the Lena River.

Samples taken from the columns today contain the stony remains of sea creatures that lived years ago.

Lena columns are listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO. These natural wonder pillars contain the remains of extinct mammoths, woolly rhinoceros, cave lions and petrified animals that lived centuries ago.
