O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Lezbos je dom jedne od najbogatijih okamenjenih šuma na svijetu, koja se proteže na više od 15.000 hektara. Ova fosilizirana stabla, stara 20 milijuna godina, stoje uspravno s očuvanim korijenskim sustavima, korom, pa čak i godovima, koje je vulkanski pepeo sačuvao.
Istaknuto: Možete prići sasvim blizu deblu sekvoje starom 20 milijuna godina koje i dalje stoji točno tamo gdje je raslo, s godovima savršeno vidljivima golim okom. Proces okamenjivanja zamijenio je svaku stanicu silikom, stvarajući žive crvene, žute i narančaste tonove u fosiliziranom drvu koji hvataju poslijepodnevno svjetlo.
Insajderski savjeti
- Wear closed-toe shoes as the paths are uneven gravel and some fossils require short uphill walks.
- Visit the indoor museum first to watch the 3D documentary, which explains how the forest was preserved.
- Bring a camera with a macro lens for close-ups of the cross-sections where colors and rings are most visible.
- Skip midday in summer when the exposed site offers no shade and temperatures exceed 35°C (95°F).
