“Very cool string of houses built into the rock cliff above Graufthal. The houses were abandoned in 1958 after the last inhabitant died, and can now be visited as a museum. Worthwhile visiting if you are in the area. “

“Stayed in the area and quickly visited these cliff side houses. Interesting history and the kids were entertained.”

“Extremely fascinating. The last inhabitant lived there until 1958. She had no running water, no electricity, no bathroom. Why did the people who lived there decided to go and live in the rocks? They must have been at their wits’ end, life must have been pretty rough…
It is charming and beautiful to visit, yet you also feel the tristesse.”
