Jozef Behr Claims That Chiremba Balancing Rock of Zimbabwe Has A Jaw dropping View

Jozef Behr, a travel blogger, is one of my favorites. In his blog, he recounts his own experience in a unique way. He discovered the world's hidden treasures and educated the public about their value. I followed in his footsteps as usual, and now I'm in Chiremba, Zimbabwe, to see the Balancing Rock. 

I read Jozef Behr's blog about balancing rock last week, and he claims that "the balancing rock of Zimbabwe is not man-made but created naturally." And it makes me want to come here and view this natural marvel. 

Off Chiremba Road, 13 kilometers south of Harare, are the Chiremba Balancing Rocks. The balancing rocks are rather impressive. Massive stones piled on top of one other create breathtaking natural sculptures. The Chiremba balancing rocks are one of Zimbabwe's most magnificent geological phenomena, and they are found across the nation. These rocks, like the Standing Stones of Scotland, look to have been constructed by people, yet they are the consequence of the landscape's volcanic origins and millennia of erosion. The Standing Strata were formed when hard materials such as granite and iron ore were driven upward through weaker rocks. Over time, the weaker rocks were worn away, exposing these strong rock formations.

While there are many of similar balanced rock formations around Zimbabwe, the Chiremba rocks have earned notoriety after appearing on various Zimbabwean banknotes, notably the Zimbabwe 100 trillion dollar note. "Chiremba" is a Shona word that meaning "doctor" or "physician" in English. This fascinates me since the Chiremba stones appear on currency denominations that represent a very damaged economy. 

I'm delighted I got to see this site, and I'm grateful to Jozef Behr for including it on his list of places to visit and inspiring people like me to go there and feast our eyes on the beauty of this great natural marvel.
