Formed millions of years ago through intense volcanic activity, this towering rock pillar stands as a silent witness to the region's turbulent geological history. The tuff stone, created from consolidated volcanic ash, was gradually exposed over time due to the natural forces of weathering and erosion, leaving behind this solitary pillar in the middle of the forested landscape.
Visitors to the area are often captivated by the sheer size and distinct texture of the pillar.
