About this place
Ralph Solecki dug here in the 1950s and found the remains of ten Neanderthals, including the burial that became famous as the “flower burial”. New excavations have run since 2014 and keep finding bones and tools. The cave mouth is enormous, about 25 metres wide, and the climb up to it takes 20–30 minutes on a rough path.
