The priest's Bath

The Priest's Bath consists of concentric circles surrounding a central peak where water once escaped through ancient seabed layers.

During the early Cambrian period, approximately 500 million years ago, pressurized water pushed through sandy seabed, creating this geological structure.

Local residents named this formation after a legend suggesting a religious figure used the circular depression for bathing near the sea.

Visitors can reach the site by following a path from the designated parking area near Vik village to the rocky shoreline.

This geological formation stands as the sole exposed sand volcano above water level in the region, preserving evidence of ancient seismic activity.
