Stone Village
Natural object
The State Geological Reserve "Stone Village" ("Kamyane Selo") is located on the territory of the Polisky Reserve, in the Zamyslovytskyi Forestry, 30 kilometers northeast of Olevsk.
Large boulders scattered in the forest between pines and oaks form "streets" on which there are "houses", "church" and "school". One of the stones has three indentations resembling human footprints - "footprints of God".
The boulders were probably brought by a glacier, after which they were weathered. There are several folk legends about the origin of the "Stone Village". One of them tells about how greedy residents of a forest settlement refused shelter to travelers, for which they were punished - their houses were petrified.
