The Burren: Irlandia

this place really unique place to look. This is a place where there are no trees to hang a man. A place where there is not enough water to drown himself. And if you finally succeeded in killing him, was too rocky to bury him. This place occupies an area of approximately 300 square kilometers.Burren's landscape is a special place. Everywhere the former Megalithic Tombs (like this famous Poulnabrone), ring forts, souterrains, cairns, holy wells and stone rows. There are relics of human habitation dating back almost 6,000 years. In this area alone there are more than 60 wedge tombs and the densest concentration in Ireland.Burren lies south of Galway in County Clare, Ireland. Burren means "rocky place." A large amount of stone work on the imagination of people. Not only 3000 years BC, but even today stones are stacked in nice shape, maybe even with some (unknown) purposes.There are also different rock formations in this place. This area is also rich in historical ecclesiastical sites.
