Om
Hurtige fakta: Gå blandt solvarmet kalksten, hvor udskårne siddepladser og stenbrudsspor mødes, og de åbne ruiner strækker sig over flere hektar lagdelt historie. Guider bøjer sig ofte for at påpege små graffiti og klokkeformede boremærker under fødderne, og på blæsende dage kan du høre fjerne bølger og en hul, teaterlignende ekko.
Højdepunkter: Træd ind i den øreformede hule, og en enkelt hvisken kaster sig ud i et rungende ekko, en buet kammer, som lokal legende siger, gav herskere mulighed for at lytte til fanger. Varmt, sent eftermiddagslys forvandler kalkstenen til honningguld, og du kan spore fingerslidte hulrum plus malede tal, nogle mærker anslås at være over 2.000 år gamle, hvilket får stenen til at føles overraskende varm under dine fingerspidser.
