The gigantic erratic boulder of Preja Buia bears some writings that are thought to be symbolic petroglyphs. These suggest that it was a sacrificial altar from prehistoric times. Next to the large boulder there are two other smaller ones, also probably dating back to the same era.

Via Genova a Taino was recently renamed 'Tainenberg'. This name is intended to recall the famous walls of the Tour of Flanders. Indeed, the Tainenberg is only 180 meters long, but has a cobbled surface and boasts slopes of up to 16%.
