Forest Days in the Little Carpathians, 9 of 12: Sandberg Fossil Site



Sandberg is a hill of ancient sea sand on the western slopes of Devínska Kobyla, inside a national nature reserve. A sea covered the area 14 to 16 million years ago, and remains of more than 250 species have been found here, from sharks and whales to seals, mastodons and rhinos.
The summit plateau looks out over Devín Castle, the Morava river and the Danube.
