ガードの峡谷・トップ20

有名なポン・デュ・ガールからわずか数分、サルペトリエール先史時代の岩陰があります。ここは歴史と自然愛好家にとってまさに隠れた名所です。数千年も前に人々がここに住み、自然の岩陰を避難場所として利用していました。考古学的発見は、旧石器時代から新石器時代にかけての定住を証明しています。 そこへの道は短く、静かな地中海沿岸の風景の中を抜けていきます。ポン・デュ・ガールを訪れる人は、岩陰への訪問をハイキングと組み合わせて、私たちの祖先がこの歴史的な場所でどのように暮らしていたかを垣間見ることができます。

A majestic site that deserves respect (like everything else, for that matter). After a path and a narrower trail, you can glimpse the cave entrance, which opens almost directly onto you, just a few meters from the main path. It's fenced off. Simply continue along this path, and you'll easily find yourself in front of the cave entrance, where you'll need to crouch briefly before the cave opens up to you, revealing its shaft of light. A few very narrow passages lead to a short continuation. Full trip report, with photos, at mickaelfr.eu

Great report and impressions of the Cévennes @JakobusPilger👍 But a bit long 😅😃

Under the title "France's Wild South," an episode of the British television series "National Parks – Protected Natural Wonders" on 3sat presents the Cévennes mountains. The accompanying text on the website states: "Lush green mountains, barren plateaus, and deep gorges characterize this landscape, which, unlike France's coasts, has not yet been discovered by mass tourism. It also boasts some of the country's most spectacular river landscapes." The compelling documentary, available in German, can be viewed in the media library at the following link: https://www.3sat.de/dokumentation/nationalparks-geschuetzte-naturwunder/nationalparks-geschuetzte-naturwunder-cevennen-frankreichs-wilder-sueden-102.html

Warning: This cave is closed to the public! Previously, only cavers were allowed entry, but this has apparently changed with the new owner (to be confirmed). I was asked to delete my trip reports from this cave (as a caver), which I refused! (It wasn't even the owner, which is ridiculous).

Simply beautiful to look at and a great building that has stood for centuries

Beautiful viewpoint over the meanders of the Gardon below

Superb view of the meandering Gardon River below. The small adjoining cave provides shelter if needed, but access is a bit tricky.
