The Gaval Dash, which stands at the entrance to the park, is one of four musical stones found in the reserve. They were probably used as a percussion instrument. When this big, two-meter-long stone is struck with smaller rocks, it makes a hollow, ringing sound, resembling the sound of a tambourine, or "gaval" in Azerbaijani language.
