February 21, 2023,Tour am Grand Canyon und Naturpark von Gorafe entlang

Impressive path on a plateau along the canyon, there you have a mega view of the rugged slopes of the gorge, on the way you pass many megalites / dolmens, these are tombs from the Bronze Age, some restored cave dwellings were also on the way.
Then it was back on the road.
