As the name suggests, carved, chiseled 1000's of years ago apparently. From the parking area it takes between 40-60 minutes to reach it depends on your fitness. Some of the trail markers have faded but the track is well worn so finding it is easy, when you reach the stone shelter it's left from there, it easy to miss the marker. Worth the effort.

Прекрасно място. Разходката до там е изключително приятна, около 1 час на отиване и 30 Мин на слизане.
