Apart for a unique formation of boulders that make you feel like you are on some weird planet. Fallen Jerusalem is also a Sanctuary for birds. In fact the amount of birds that come to Fallen Jerusalem to nest and breed made it one of the main reasons for Fallen Jerusalem to be declared a National Park.
