At the village of Kuklica, about 13 km from Kratovo, erosion has carved soft rock into dozens of tall pillars that look like human figures. Local legend says they are a wedding party turned to stone; geologists call them earth pyramids. A short path leads among them. Our advice: come in the late afternoon, when the low light brings out the shapes.
