Kokino Observatory - Kuklica Stone Dolls - Kratovo
FULL DAY TOUR

Kuklica Stone Dolls - around 120 naturally formed stone pillars, located in the village of Kuklica, near Kratovo in Republic of Macedonia. Aside from mystic stories and legends, the earth pyramid in Kuklica was formed as a result of natural erosion processes in the Holocene, during the past 100,000 years. Differences in the erodibility of the volcanic rocks of the area are the main factor for the pillars creation.

Having a mild and pleasant climate, it is located in the crater of an extinct volcano. It is famous for its bridges and towers.
