O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Pred približno 9.000 leti je to naselje na bregovih Donave nudilo dom ribojedcem, ki so izrezali srhljive kamnite skulpture s trapezastimi čeli. Izjemno ohranjena arhitektura najdišča razkriva hiše z natančnimi trapezastimi tlorisi in apneno ometanimi ognjišči, razporejenimi v skoraj matematičnem vzorcu.

Poudarki: Pozorno si oglejte masivne peščenjaške balvane, izrezane z ribjimi človeškimi obrazi: so med najstarejšimi monumentalnimi skulpturami v Evropi, 4.000 let starejšimi od piramid. Arheologi so ugotovili, da ti kamni še vedno stoje točno tam, kjer so bili postavljeni, obrnjeni proti reki in sončni poti čez sotesko.

Notranji nasveti

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.
