In this magical realm, there stand the Fairy Chimneys (the Three Beauties). These three distinct rock formations are recognised by their distinctive conical shapes crowned with stone caps.

Because this tuff is malleable and easy to sculpt, it has also contributed to the region’s distinctive architecture.
