Rock pillars at Vlakfontein

 

Not quite as spectacular, Treeferns Trout Lodge has its own “stonehenge”, standing rocks or pillars eroded over years. The farm also has an interesting geological history, i.e. ripple rock or fossil  sand beds,  beautiful  rock formations, faults, etc. One such solidified sand bed is situated near the chalets. It has been partly cleared as an attraction. To enhance the significance of this phenomenon, a stone  wall  or facade of the three main rock types on the farm  has been erected around the sand bed. These are sedimentary, igneous or volcanic, and metamorphic rock types.

A slide show  of these rock formations follows:
