Hiking

A narrow gap exists between the two sandstone blocks, which have come to lie close together here. This is not a single stone that has been split (as the name suggests), but rather a formation of two stones lying side by side.

Actually, the split stone is not one, but two rocks lying next to each other, which enable the way up through a narrow passage (column).
