Бързи факти: Millions of Jersey tiger moth butterflies blanket the valley each summer, creating a surreal orange and black spectacle. The butterflies flock here to escape heat and predators, attracted by the valley's natural springs and plane trees.
Акценти: Fascinatingly, the butterflies can cluster up to 20,000 per square meter on trees and rocks, creating dense blankets of winged life. The cool, shaded gorge with its mossy cliffs and trickling streams creates a peaceful, otherworldly atmosphere to witness this mass gathering.
