    Hiking

    Some rock formations look like things, animals or people and frankly it takes a lot of imagination. This is not the case with the elephant! A great place to stop and admire it.

    Hiking

    The elephant requires a bit of climbing, but it's clearly visible.
    Overall, it's a very beautiful place, fun for children.
    If you have difficulty getting around, don't go!
