The probably 5000 year old place of worship consists of 50 stones, which are placed in a cross around a grave. Their magic unfolds especially in sunshine or at sunrise and sunset.

We were there at sunset today. Incredibly impressive. You can also walk around the stones, unlike, for example, Stonehenge.

Because it's been mentioned here: signs with explanations explicitly ask visitors NOT to touch the stones.
Touching them isn't good for them, and that's exactly why (because people just couldn't resist it) Stonehenge was eventually sealed off and is as sad as it is today.

The visitor center has been undergoing major expansion for some time now and is inaccessible!
