    I would never have expected something like that up here. Crazy. 💈

    The sundial, which is around 3,000 square meters in size, is located on the south plateau (140 meters). A stainless steel obelisk with a height of 8.65 meters and a weight of 1.5 tons acts as a pointer. Its shadow lines make it possible to read the date and time on the circular plane with a diameter of 62 meters. 🧭
