Best Hiking Routes to Limestone with fossils

Tips

  • Here you walk along the limestone slabs near the sea. Definitely pay attention to the ground. Fossils are plentiful in the limestone - hundreds of fossilized shells and other sea creatures from ancient times. Very impressive!

  • For botanists: some endemic plants grow in the rock crevices. Otherwise: beware, there is not a patch of shade.

  • The small salt pans on the limestone slabs with fleur de sal are also very interesting.
    This salt is also known as the queen of salts.
