When looking at the rock formations of LAS MEDULAS, one must remember that this landscape is not natural, but rather the (sad) remains of a mountain that was ruthlessly exploited even during the times of the Roman Empire. A quarter-hour film documentary (in German) is available in the ARD media library as part of the highly recommended series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity":
