Domaine de Fontainebleau : château, jardins, parc et forêt (T)

Daniel C-Hazard Germany - 31-May-22

The Forest of Fontainebleau is huge in area (for a Central European forest) and nice to visit. The various sandstone formations scattered around, in particular the Place du Cuvier, form the birthplace of the sport of bouldering, and the landscape inspired the so-called Barbizon school of painters, who gathered in the village of the same name on the edge of the forest. However, I do not fully understand why the area should receive another WHS status. A large fraction is already protected under the WHS "Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe", including the areas around the Ermitage de Franchard, Les Gorges d’Apremont [visit/hike recommended] and Place du Cuvier

Art and Architecture in the Prehistory of Sardinia. The domus de janas. (T)

Daniel C-Hazard Germany - 28-Apr-21

Sardinia boasts arguably the best beaches in Europe as well as countless prehistoric and protohistoric archaeological sites. This TWHS is only about necropoles though, not less than 35 in the description (out of more than 10,000 on Sardinia), and most of them situated in the northwest of the island. As I have not been to that part of the island yet, I have only seen two of the tentative sites: Li Muri near Arzachena and the mysterious Tomba del Labirinto. Both are unique and worth the visit, and the latter could definitely use a protection concept.

Eise Eisinga Planetarium (T)

Daniel C-Hazard Germany - 11-Sep-20

In human history, there have always been individuals who were ahead of their time. Eise Eisinga was one of those. Actually a wool comber, he was also an amateur astronomer (and what an astronomer he was!).

In 1774, another Dutch amateur astronomer (and self-proclaimed preacher), Eelco Alta, predicted the end of the world, believing a rare conjunction of the Moon and the then-known four planets Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter would inevitably lead to a crash of the celestial bodies and the destruction of the Earth.

La Chaux-de-Fonds / Le Locle

Daniel C-Hazard Germany - 01-Sep-20

I arrived from France by car via the Col des Roches pass, after having visited Besançon and the Royal Saltworks. Given the limited time I had and due to the Covid-19 crisis, I decided to skip any museums or other indoor exhibitions (apart from a short elevator ride in the Espacité building) and to take advantage of the sunny weather to focus on architecture and urban planning. Thus, all places described as follows had free entry.

I drove to La Chaux-de-Fonds first (in case you don't have a Swiss motorway vignette and plan to just see the two listed towns and return to France afterwards, you may want to avoid the 1,000 meters of motorway between the towns by exiting the A20 in Le Crêt du Locle). Parking is mostly free in both communities but requires a parking disc. I started my tour at Le Crématoire, a fine example of local Art Nouveau. It is not located within the core zone. After having seen the Cure catholique romaine du Sacré-Coeur, I followed the recommendation of several other WHS community members and took the elevator up to the top of the Espacité building for a bird's eye view of this planned city

Jodrell Bank Observatory

Daniel C-Hazard Germany - 19-Nov-19

I think this site deserves its world heritage status and it surely fills a WHS niche. It is not the oldest radio telescope in the world but one of the oldest "bigger ones" as far as I could find out. Personally, I find the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, which is four times bigger in diameter (and six years younger), more impressive. A cross-national nomination would have made sense in my opinion (well played, UK!).

What I did not like so much was the fact that the site's management has made the WH listed smaller Mark II Telescope completely off limits to the public. I understand that astrophysics research is still carried out by the University of Manchester but allowing visitors a closer look and operating such a site would not exclude each other. Nowadays, to have a closer look on the Lovell Telescope, the main one, the visitor has to pay at least 7.65 GBP entrance fee for an adult, plus 4.00 GBP for a parking ticket
