The Cyclops Stones consist of ancient sand that accumulated at the bottom of the Cretaceous Sea several million years ago. When the sea retreated, the sand layer was exposed. In some places the quartz in the sand was dissolved by tropical rain and seeped into deeper layers of soil, where it cemented into hard sandstone and quartz beds - today's Cyclops stones. Over the course of millions of years, they have come back to the surface due to environmental influences.

The cyclops are worth a visit. The stones lying in the middle of the forest look pretty bizarre.

The Cyclops Stones are easily accessible and worth a visit. When these emerge from the forest floor there is something “extraterrestrial” or “mystical” and the name in connection with Cyclops does the rest. The true origins, which are explained in pictures on boards there, are also fascinating.
