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 "Elf Chimney" is located in Cappadocia, Turkey, on the Anatolia Plateau. In fact, there are some very large conical strata. The soft rock resembles the conical steeple. The top of the steeple is endowed with a softer basalt "cap" by nature. In 1985, the Magic Forest of Cappadocia was selected as UNESCO's World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site.
These fairy chimneys of Graeme are totally natural. Of course, they can also 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 eruption has undergone millions of years of wind and rain, and the weathering ability of the softer rock layers under the hardest top rock rain is different, thus forming such a unique and peculiar landform and landscape.
The immortal chimney, also known as the elf chimney, was deposited in this area millions of years ago when a nearby volcano erupted on a large scale. After thousands of years of weathering and rainwater erosion, the soft soil was destroyed and eventually formed a smoky rock with a peculiar shape lasting several kilometers, which became the unique lunar landform on the earth.
