There are sculptures in stone , with bizarre shapes , some small , others out at the height of a man who emerged as people exploit the sand quarry . These formations are called trove or popular " living stones " . They say it would be over 6 million years old and would have occurred due to local cementing of sand , possibly due to a seismic activities . Most trove of Costesti ellipsoidal in shape .

Early morning , we started from the center of Garda to the cave Scarisoara . I knew that tourism is a red cross trail through the woods , but I missed the entry path and went on a forest road about 10 km long . We felt sorry for the landscape is extraordinary. We climbed to an altitude of about 1200 m. The landscape is typical of the Apuseni Mountains , Country Stone , with large houses away, with households at the top of the hill. I passed Moti homes built in the mountain , on winding , until I reached the cave. I do not know how we took on that mountain road , but may have made ​​a few hours. Of course , it could go by car but the road is damaged and I have risked too much . When I got close up , besides us has been a full electrocar tourists.
