There’s even a mermaid legend tied to the castle’s lore.

When you visit, you’re not just exploring geological marvels; you’re stepping into a world of stories, sitting in the “Wishing Chair,” and admiring the “Organ.” And the beauty extends far beyond the rocks, with soaring cliffs, lush greenery, and seabirds soaring above.
