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.
