You have to look closely to discover the rock niches where sacrifices were made to the gods over 1,000 years ago. Sometimes small offerings or candles make the search easier.

If you leave the main hiking trail and follow the beaten tracks, there are always beautiful views ;-))

Hello Tim,
if it's any consolation for you - we didn't find it either, although we were looking for it.... ;-)

Today I happened to walk over the witches' path again and looked in vain for the bat cave, and suddenly he was to be seen steeply uphill on a rock face on the right....
... sometimes that's how it is... ;-)

Although we didn't find the temple, we did find a very beautiful piece of forest. It's situated on a hillside with a rocky outcrop that runs right across the sloping slope.

I'm reassured that I'm not the only one who hasn't seen the pagan temple either. 🤓
