Log Text: I am still flashed by my expiernce to see these rock carvings for real. Little reminder for all: Do not touch the rock carvings and do not step on them. Otherwise, if a lot of people do this, the unique carvings will be destroyed over time.

Log Text: The ascent is a bit difficult and a bit dangerous in wet weather. The effort for someone like me, who comes 'from the flat country of Lower Saxony', is a small challenge (with a smile!)

Log Text: Places like this, where you can still see what people did and sometimes thought and lived 3000 years ago, are always something special and sometimes make you stop in awe and think about your own existence. The rock carvings are definitely such a place!
