    Large abandoned quarry 2 kilometers south of the village and the archeological park of gigantic magmatite rocks, about 2.2 billion years old, that also served thousands of years of Neolithic and prehistoric cultures as ceremonial cult locations, stone tool workshops, and residence. The biggest danger for the site is the uncontrolled rock quarrying, exemplified by this enormous quarry along the road on the western side of the village, currently abandoned and filled with rainwater, forming a huge lake with granite walls. Maybe this site also contained similar archeological values that are now destroyed.

    Even if there were any archeological findings in the nearby park, they have to be buried, as anything at the surface of the unprotected park has long been pilfered.
