Visit in late spring or early autumn when the light falls softly on the Danube gorge and temperatures are pleasant. Arrive right when it opens to experience the site in near solitude with long shadows that make the stone sculptures pop.

Om
Snabba fakta: För omkring 9 000 år sedan hyste denna bosättning på Donaus stränder fiskätare som ristade suggestiva stenskulpturer med trapetsformade pannor. Platsens exceptionellt välbevarade arkitektur visar hus med precisa trapetsformade planlösningar och eldstäder täckta med kalkputs arrangerade i ett nästan matematiskt mönster.
Höjdpunkter: Titta noga på de massiva sandstensblocken med ristade fisk- och människoliknande ansikten: de är bland Europas äldsta monumentala skulpturer och föregår pyramiderna med 4 000 år. Arkeologer fann dessa stenar fortfarande stående exakt där de placerats, vända mot floden och solens bana över ravinen.
Insidertips
- 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.
