Description

It is a unique combination of atmospheric, chemical and tectonic processes. The rock columns in the sands from the Eocene period vastly impress and attract both scientists and the general public. Nowhere else in the world can one see such colums, and least of all, colums of such origin and size. On the other hand, the desert-like surroundings with their specific flora and fauna make it imperative that this natural monument should be preserved.
