Random Sand Fact

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, there are sand pyramids that become more distinct as everything around them disappears.

Outside Foča, narrow pointed formations of sandy material, clay and gravel rise from the landscape. Rain, frost, heat and wind slowly wear away the ground around them.

What remains stands as pillars and pyramids, in places reaching around 20 metres.

They are not built up. They are shaped by everything around them wearing away.
