Here you walk on the same rock as on the moon; Anorthosite. Astronauts and scientists from NASA have even visited the area.
A huge magma chamber 900 million years ago
The anorthosite extends along the west coast from Ogna in the north to Hidra in the south. 900 million years ago, this entire area was a huge magma chamber deep inside the earth's interior. In the east, the magma chamber is framed by Northern Europe's largest stratified intrusion. Many exciting geological processes have taken place here over 1 billion years ago, and the result is wild and untouched nature with unique minerals and rocks. Now, this landscape invites you to explore a variety of exciting activities.
