About this Event
Note the date of the event: 2024 summer solstice on 21st of June!
The less-known site of Lepenski Vir is home to Europe's oldest astronomical alignment dating back to 8000 years ago. For this year Dr. Marc Frincu is organizing a 2-day tour from Timisoara (Romania), the 2023 European Capital of Culture. During the trip, you will witness the sunrise from the shores of the Danube River, where legends say Hercules traveled in his adventures. You will visit the museum of Lepenski Vir, and a hidden cave full of rock art dating back to prehistory.
Recent research has shown that the people of Lepenski Vir, a culture that thrived in the region 8000 years ago, chose the site so that it aligns with the highest mountain across the mighty Danube River.
An amazing experience awaits you in this less-known area of the Balkans. You will also have the opportunity to explore Timisoara which was designated the 2023 European Capital of Culture.
