This is where the gorge supervisors have their base and, in an emergency, a rescue helicopter can also land here. But mainly, the deserted mountain village is a great place for a picnic. There are benches, drinking water, rubbish bins and a toilet house - what more could you ask for.

Abandoned village which gave its name to the gorge.
There you can take a break and also at the local source
absorb fresh water.
Very beautiful!
