Hiking photos - War Tunnels and Lost Village, 2009/12/03

This trip began with a walk through a network of underground tunnels created and used by villagers and soldiers during the war in the 1930s and '40s. The tunnels and the houses they joined are now part of a museum. After visiting the museum we took a nice walk in the hills, passing through fields and valleys on the way to the Lost Village.
