Devil's Town: Strange Rock Formation - Serbia
   
 
 
  Djavolja Varos is a strange rock formation in south Serbia, created by   strong water erosion of the surrounding soil. Djavolja Varos, which   means "Devil's Town" in Serbian, features 202 earth pyramids, each   between 2-15 meters high and 4-6 meters wide. Most of these rock towers   have an andesit cap that protects them from further erosion.

 
 

 
  When an earth pyramid protects its protective cap, it is quickly   disintegrated by the falling rains, but they form just as quick, because   of the heavy water erosion. This is what inspired locals to name this   extraordinary site Djavolja Varos, because they believe changes like   these happen when demons fight each other for power.

 
 

 
  The strange sounds made by the wind in this place are also behind its   creepy name. The murmurs, howling and squeaking coming from Djavolja   Varos on windy nights have frightened local population for centuries and   are at the bottom of their eerie legends.
