Giant Footstep

As visitors journey through the island of Delft, they will come across a number of historic locations that provide insight into the island's rich cultural heritage. One such location is the entrance to the horse stables that were used during the Colonial Period. Upon walking to the stables from the main road, visitors will be greeted by a sight that is both intriguing and puzzling - a giant footstep close to one meter in length.

The sight of the print is reminiscent of the giants that we see in movies and is sure to leave visitors wondering about the story behind it. The locals believe that the footprint, which is engraved into a stone, belongs to a man who was around 40 feet in height. What is even more interesting is that there is reportedly a similar footprint on a nearby island, Nainathivu.

These giant footprints are just one example of the fascinating history and mythology that surrounds the island of Delft. Visitors will find plenty of other historic and cultural landmarks...
