Monuments are connected not only with history and culture. Monuments are in nature. The main distinguishing feature of the Kreva land is the presence of a large number of geological monuments - boulders. There are 6 boulders on the territory of Kreva land - natural monuments of national importance and the hill "Milidovskaya mountain". How did they end up on our earth?
Residents of Kreva experienced a lot of grief on their native barren land, generously dotted with boulders. "There are so many stones here that the devil himself will twist his legs," they muttered, believing that there was no way out of the unclean force. There is a legend that tells that the stones were deliberately scattered by the devil to annoy God. According to another legend, these stones were thrown by giants during hunting, construction, wars. Some said that large stones, like potatoes, grew out of small ones, or came out of the ground like mushrooms. In the 70s of the XIX century. After studying the areas of modern glaciation, scientists from different countries almost simultaneously came to the conclusion that the ancient glaciers were to blame for the appearance of strange stones.
