It is hard to believe that neatly and symmetrically carved stones are created by nature itself, and not by human hands.
The Basalt Organ is an amazing natural landmark in the Garni Gorge! Nature has created hexagonal columns hanging over the river, which really create the impression of a huge musical instrument. And it seems that the rocks will now sing!
The Symphony of Stones is basalt rocks in the form of straight pipes and about 100m high. This attraction is called Symphony of Stones since the rocks seem to resemble a musical instrument organ from afar. Such rocks are formed during a sharp freezing of lava.
