Small but stunning to see how the nature evolves over million years. Quite impressive to see the stones.

What an amazing spot i was quiet when I saw it. Also the history about it waa lovely to hear but the feeling you have when you are there is not to express in words. An amazing place

A beautiful place with excellent views. The guide pamphlet explains the causes and the history of this fascinating phenomenon. You can expect to spend between one and two hours roaming around the rock formations and taking photos.

Great site: Stunning what beauty natural erosion processes can create! If you are around there a must-see. A bit hot in the summer (drink a bit beforehand or take a bottle of water if visiting between June and August), but just a short walk a little incline upwards from the parking lot. Very educational signs that explain the natural history, friendly staff.

Great geological formation. Site is small so easy to look around. 1 kilometer walk from the parking lot. Small restaurants, beverage stands and restrooms next to ticket booth. €5.00 for adults includes a point of interest brochure in language of your choice.
