The view went on for ever....deserted cable car station and cavemen caves!

Yesterday saw me visiting a location that has taunted me for months, I've seen it so many times but had no idea how to get UP to it, Google earth helped a bit, but not much, in the end I was lucky that the 2 people I asked for directions spoke fluent English!...although the second guy telling me that I had a kilometre to go before I began a hard climb nearly put me off...he was right, the going was hard enough through the woods but going up the side of the mountain was a killer, still...I did it in 45 mins , my target was a disused cable car station right on the summit of a mountain, the views are stunning...and even there the graffiti kids have flourished!!!....I went down using another much easier route because I was looking for something...found it too!...a long closed tourist attraction!...a tunnel leads deep into the mountain....where years ago the bones of prehistoric cavemen were found, having no torch & being on my own I didn't venture in too far....hope you like the pics....

So pleased you went there as it means I don't have to flog up the side of a mountain for 45 minutes!

Seriously, great pics.

There is another way up, a much less strenuous one in fact...I'll use that one next time ...now I know where it is.

Great spot! Loving the smaller continental locations cropping up at the moment. Again and again and again I ask myself - "Who would bother to go to so much effort to do some crap graffiti!?".
