23-25 million years in the making – just for your enjoyment.
The large hummocky rock formations that look a lot like Elephants were created after fossil-rich limestone deposited millions of years ago eroded, leaving behind an incredible boulder-field which towers above your head.
The Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail runs right past the rocks, so make sure you give yourself an extra half an hour to see the boulders up close.

The rocks are on private land so visitors are asked to be respectful of all signage and roaming stock. Access is via a short 2-3 minute walk.
