Тихое место на холме, где воздух будто поет. Места хватает для размышлений. Солнце играет на древних стенах, а внутри чувствуется спокойствие. Если поднимаешься сюда, то настроение автоматически улучшается. Рекомендую.

Тропа, ведущая к этому месту, — это путешествие к самому себе. Каждый шаг по каменистой дороге — повод задуматься и почувствовать, как природа обнимает и успокаивает. Когда оказываешься среди древних стен, время словно замирает, а внутри загорается надежда. В таком месте загадать желание — словно довериться чему-то большему и мудрому. Атмосфера необычайная, заставляет забыть всё лишнее и сконцентрироваться на главном. Не знаю, сбудется ли моё желание, но ощущение мира и уюта, которое здесь нашла, уже само по себе — настоящее чудо.
