Photos do not adequately reflect the thickness of the formation. The rock rises almost 200m and is a former volcanic vent that has lost its mountain due to erosion. The crystal-like structures that arise when the lava cools down can be seen very well.

The “cathedral” rises out of the ground from the plain and somewhat apart from the other rock formations. Really impressive and I could imagine that this rock will make some climbers' hearts beat faster.

The name already suggests that the rock should look like a cathedral ... so if at all the similarity is only recognizable in the beginning
