A wonder of nature created over countless years as the rapid currents of the Aga River carved circular holes into the hard riverbed rocks. These "potholes" of various sizes lined up along the rocky area resemble the surface of the moon, offering a mysterious sculptural beauty. It is a place where you can observe the natural carvings created by the energy of water up close, experiencing the wonders of nature while enjoying a geologically precious landscape.
