The rim of the saucer shaped crater rises to a height of some 60m above the saltpan. The crater is recognised as a remarkable geological feature and a well-preserved impact site.  

It is estimated that a 50m meteorite struck the site some 200,000 years ago leaving a cavity in excess of one and a half kilometres wide.  

An easy seven-kilometre trail takes one along the crater rim with the path leading down to the saline lake and includes observations of earlier salt-mining activities.

 

The excursion is a pleasant experience and the information centre displays evidence of the geological rock formations of the aftermath.
