Nowhere else does the gorge offer such striking insights into the interior of a mountain and rocks as on the opposite cliff wall. The exposed folds in the rock are the expression of the enormous forces involved in forming mountains. The rocks are laterally compressed as if they were in a vice, causing them to bend and fold.
On the left side of the wall, the water has polished the surface of the banded limestone resulting in a smooth appearance. The different coloured rock layers clearly demonstrate the folding process. To the left, you can see just how inconspicuous the rock looks without this polishing effect from the water.
The water has exposed large wave-like folds in the central part of the cliff. They extend from the black quartz-rich schists at the base of the wall to the light banded limestone above. The fold structure is less clear in the schists because they react differently under pressure to the banded limestones. On the right of the cliff wall, an extreme fold can be seen just above the brook. Here the rock layers have been bent some 180 degrees!
