On the ninth kilometer of the old Foča-Miljevina-Sarajevo road, in the place called Pirni Do, there are Sand Pyramids, and are a real masterpiece of the nature.
This unique geomorphologic phenomenon has been created for many years. By erosion of the soil and under the influence of aggressive friction of frosts, summer heat, rain and strong winds, figures of interesting shapes were created. Their shape and composition are reminiscent of the Pyramids in Colorado (USA), Dolomites (Italy), the Valcea region in Romania, in Bulgaria or the pyramids in Devil’s Town (Đavolja Varoš, Serbia).
The process of erosion continues today, so they do not disappear, but grow. They reach a height of up to 20 meters.
The furrowed sand columns rise from their broad foundations and taper towards the top, thus forming an extraordinary geomorphological rarity in these areas.
In the 1960s, some shots of the movie “Captain Leši” were filmed in this attractive location.
