Description
"A gorge located between the hills that go from the lake westward in almost parallel lines. Between two rocky, worn hills that drop steeply like a fjord, a small torrent foams, descends with a crash, and above is the escarpment of the wild mountain with plants that have grown in all directions, as they could, among the stones. A goat path climbs the steepest hill, and it is the one that Jesus takes."[1]
Notable facts
