Sand Pyramids

These sedimentary pillars, known as Sand Pyramids, are located in the village of Dancici, just 9 km away from Foca town. And 4 km away from the main road Sarajevo – Miljevina – Foca. This unusual attraction was first mentioned during the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in this region. But, scientists estimate they were formed 200 years ago. The product of rock wear at the surface or shallow below the Earth’s surface is sandy clay, which over the centuries through the process of erosion made these interesting pillars. Rain, wind, frost, and the Sun, shaped them to look like pyramids. These interesting rock formations are 75 km east from Sarajevo toward Foca town and Sutjeska National Park.
