Here are some some samples of so called fairychimneys.What made people call them as fairychimneys is their shape and their mystic look.Because people used to believe that fairies used to make them and live inside;the actual thing formed them was the nature but nothing else.
     The erruption of two volcanos Hasan Mt. and Erciyes Mt. has formed an area of soft tufa and this soft rock was shaped by erosion,wind and rain water into strange structures making people think that they were made by fairies.So come and see this beautiful land of fairies.
