The Symphony of Stones are basalt rocks in the shape of straight pipes and about 100m high. They are called symphonies because from a distance they resemble an organ. Such rocks are formed when lava suddenly hardens: this form turns out to be energetically favorable. There are especially many such rocks in the Azat River gorge, which is included in the list of UNESCO sites.
