Pierced Stones (Hawkeye)
The group of rocks in the Bukovyna Carpathians east of the village of Roztoky, near the Nimchych pass, is called "Pierced Stones".
As a result of weathering, many holes have formed in the 40-meter-high sandstone rocks, they seem to have been perforated.
The most impressive arched rock is Hawkeye - a rare form of karst in the Carpathians. The arch at the top of the rock resembles the shape of eyes, hence the name. At the foot of the rock is a small three-chambered cave.
