Hiking
You will encounter these types of red sandstone rocks in various places in this region. They emerged about 250 million years ago during the Permian when Europe was still largely a shallow sea. Sediments such as sand and mud were compressed and hardened into rock.
Millions of years of erosion by wind, water and frost have worn away the softer layers. The harder parts were left standing so that we can marvel at the beautiful, irregular shapes.
