Teave

Kiired faktid: Umbes 9000 aastat tagasi elas selles Doonau-kalda asulas kalasööjad, kes raiusid õõvastavaid trapetskujulise laubaga kiviskulptuure. Koha erakordselt hästi säilinud arhitektuur paljastab majad, millel on täpsed trapetsikujulised põhiplaanid, ja lubikrohviga kaetud koldeid, mis on paigutatud peaaegu matemaatilise korrapäraga.

Esiletõstmised: Vaata tähelepanelikult hiiglaslikke liivakivist rahne, millesse on raiutud kalasarnased inimnäod: need on Euroopa vanimate monumentaalskulptuuride hulgas, olles püramiididest 4000 aastat vanemad. Arheoloogid leidsid need kivid endiselt seismas täpselt seal, kuhu need olid paigutatud, pööratuna jõe ja päikese teekonna poole üle kanjoni.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

Wear sturdy shoes: the walkways between excavated houses are gravel and can be uneven near the river's edge.
The on-site museum displays the original 8,000-year-old sculptures, while casts remain outdoors, so don't skip the indoor gallery.
Bring binoculars to spot white-tailed eagles and cormorants fishing along the Danube from the site's elevated terrace.
Go on a weekday morning if possible: weekends draw bus tours from Belgrade, filling the wooden walkways by noon.
