The erosion of each rock formation creates the unique landscape. I once heard my colleague joke about tourists, but he didn't clarify it. "I laughed and I was distressed by the tourists. Wonders of the world.
The next stop from the Goreme Open Air Museum is the elf chimney, not to see just some unremarkable stones, but all long weathered and formed. Especially fun! You can climb to a high hole, and of course it is probably not coming down.
It is a mysterious place in Cappadocia, a world heritage site in Turkey, where mushroom-like rocks protrude.
The fairy chimney (Fairy Chimneys) is the most magical and unique landscape in Cappadocia. A column of different shapes rises up, and a strange hat is still on its head. People think that there are elfs living in it, so they call them fairy chimneys or elf chimneys.
The "Elves chimney" is located in Cappadocia on the Anatolian plateau in Turkey. It is actually some extra-large conical rock formations, soft rock like a conical steeple, and the top of the steeple is given by nature a softer basalt "hat". In 1985, the magical forest of Cappadocia was selected for the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Culture and Nature.
These fairy chimneys of Goreme are completely formed naturally, and of course they can be said to be masterpieces made by the gods of fire, wind, rain and the old man of time. The lava city formed by volcanic eruptions has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, and the softer rock layers under the most hard top rock rain have different weathering capabilities, resulting in such a unique and peculiar landscape.
The fairy chimney, also known as the elf chimney, was formed millions of years ago when a nearby volcano erupted in large scale, and scattered ash deposited in this area. After thousands of years of weathering and rainwater, it wiped out the soft soil and finally formed a strange smoke-like rock that lasted several kilometers. It is a unique moon-like landscape on Earth.
