4. IDOL STONES AND SIROK CASTLE

Volcanic activity some 17 million years ago created the rocks that form Sirok Castle Hill.

Over millions of years, external forces shaped the volcanic tuffs into whimsical rock formations. The spectacular tuff towers were formed from the more erosion-resistant consolidated rocks.

The so-called Idol Stones, the steep towers of the Priest, the Monk and the Nun, line the ridge of Castle Hill and rise 5-6 meters above the saddle.

Sirok Castle, built on volcanic tuff and towering above the village, is a historical monument with a rich program of events.
