Devils Town
Two rare natural phenomena at the same spot: about 200 stone formations created by erosion, between two and 15 meters in height and the middle diameter of under 1 m, topped by stone blocks weighing as much as 100 kg, appearing unreal and yet lasting for centuries make Djavolja Varos a true wonder of nature.

Devils Tower National Monument is an laccolithic butte composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Mountains. It is near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the Belle Fourche River, standing 867 feet (265 m) from summit to base.
Devil's Tower was made famous years ago in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Devils Tower (also known as Bear Lodge Butte) is a butte, possibly laccolithic, composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Ranger District of the Black Hills, near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises 1,267 feet (386 m) above the Belle Fourche River, standing 867 feet (265 m) from summit to base. The summit is 5,112 feet (1,559 m) above sea level.
Devils Tower was the first United States national monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres (545 ha).
In recent years, about 1% of the monument's 400,000 annual visitors climbed Devils Tower, mostly using traditional climbing techniques.
As rain and snow continue to erode the sedimentary rocks surrounding the Tower's base, more of Devils Tower will be exposed. Nonetheless, the exposed portions of the Tower still experience certain amounts of erosion. Cracks along the columns are subject to water and ice erosion. Portions, or even entire columns, of rock at Devils Tower are continually breaking off and falling. Piles of broken columns, boulders, small rocks, and stones, called scree, lie at the base of the tower, indicating that it was once wider than it is today.
Fur trappers may have visited Devils Tower, but they left no written evidence of having done so. The first documented Caucasian visitors were several members of Captain William F. Raynolds's 1859 expedition to Yellowstone. Sixteen years later, Colonel Richard I. Dodge escorted an Office of Indian Affairs scientific survey party to the massive rock formation and coined the name Devils Tower. Recognizing its unique characteristics, the United States Congress designated the area a U.S. forest reserve in 1892 and in 1906 Devils Tower became the nation's first National monument.
The 1977 movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind used the formation as a plot element and as the location of its climactic scenes.Its release was the cause of a large increase in visitors and climbers to the monument.
Similarly, the 2011 movie Paul used the formation at the film's climax as an homage to Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
The Native American story of the formation of the stars of the Pleiades at Devils Tower is featured in the 2014 science documentary series Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey.
It is featured in a 2019 episode of The UnXplained titled "Unnatural Nature", documenting and speculating about the formation.
Devil's Tower featured in 2019 film Godzilla: King of The Monsters as Abaddon resting.
Devil's Tower, by the name Mato Tipila, is featured as one of 34 discoverable natural wonders in the 2016 Firaxis video game Civilization VI.

Anytime the family gathers there will be Deviled Eggs, lots of them, and they all disappear.
Devils Wall.
This is the „Teufelsmauer“, a geologic oddity that can be found near the Harz mountains and near to my stay last weekend. I visited the place before, it's a strange landmark. Weather was great, bot so much the time I got there, but at least some landscape pictures.
