Top 10 Caves タムニエスでの

A worthwhile visit, even if it's not the original cave. But the replica is very well done, and the self-guided tour with the audio guide, also in German, explains everything in a very interesting way.

This museum is certainly interesting, unfortunately we didn't have enough time

Impressive are the dwellings in the rocks and the houses from the rocks

Here we have the situation – previously completely unknown to me and therefore surprising – that MADELEINE, a Christian saint (the name is derived from the biblical "Mary Magdalene"), has become the namesake of an era from the proverbial "dim prehistory" (one to one and a half dozen millennia before the beginning of our era). To paraphrase it from Wikipedia, which can explain it better than I can: "The Magdalenian is an archaeological cultural stage in the younger part of the Upper Paleolithic in Central and Western Europe at the end of the last Ice Age. The Magdalenian was named in 1869 by Gabriel de Mortillet after the semi-cave La Madeleine in the Dordogne department. It spanned an approximate period from approximately 18,000 to 12,000 BC."

This excursion takes visitors far back into prehistoric times. And the place - like the Vézère valley in the French Périgord - is not only marked as one (of many) highlights in the komoot system: UNESCO has also recognized the surprisingly well-preserved, ancient rock paintings and - quite rightly - awarded them the coveted title of World Heritage Site. The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" documents these special places from all eras and continents in quarter-hour contributions.
