Love Valley About 1 million visitors per year visit nature’s tribute to male fertility in the Love Valley. Its fairy chimneys differ from other examples in the region as they have a wide base, narrow pillar and cone-shaped peak.

A hot air balloon over the extraordinary landscape is an unforgettable experience.
