    Hiking

    The road to the parking lot is now paved and can be driven without any problems without a four-wheel drive.

    Hiking

    Four-wheel drive is an advantage for driving to the parking lot. The gravel road is quite steep and bumpy.

    Hiking

    Here you walk through a jagged collection of twisted basalt rocks in the midst of which a strange phenomenon of echoes can be observed. The mushroom-shaped columns and the raised layer that resembles a church vault were probably caused by rapid cooling of lava under the influence of water.
