Rock-formation the Three Petrified Brothers

The rock-formation the "Three Petrified Brothers" is located just north of town of Aytos in Kazanite locality. It is an amazing composition of three large rocks, carved by nature in the form of human figures. The area around reminding too much of a rocky desert. Here grows the Aytos Astragalus (Astragalus aitosensis - a barbed bush), also known as genger.

А legend of the rocks has been told since high antiquity:
They were three brothers - warriors who protected and fought for the suppressed Bulgarians. In the evenings, when they came back from the battlefield, the brothers turned into rocks so they could hide from their enemies and have a rest. This happened after each battle. When the wars were over, the three brothers came and stopped to rest here again. They are still standing here ready to defend the Bulgarians if they have to.

The stone-formation "The Three Petrified Brothers" was declared natural landmark.
