Seasonal recommendations
In the spring, the statue comes alive with fresh green and blooming nature. Soft spring light gently hits the stone surface, creating a fresh atmosphere. We recommend wearing more layers of clothing because the weather is variable. The best time to visit is in the morning when the air is the cleanest.
In the summer months dominates the cabin greenery and sharp sun, which creates deep shadows in the details of the statue. The atmosphere is hot and full of life. For a comfortable tour, choose light, breathable clothes and don't forget to cover your head. It is ideal to come early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the greatest temperatures.
Autumn brings colour leaves and frequent fog to the surroundings, which give the memory a mysterious touch. The golden underevening light highlights the texture of the stone. Moisture-resistant shoes and a warm jacket are practical. For the best visual impression we recommend a visit in the afternoon.
In winter, the statue may look very dramatic, especially if it is covered by a layer of snow. There is peace and quiet, which underlines the sacred nature of the place. It is necessary to wear warm thermal underwear, gloves and a hat. In light of the short days, plan to arrive in the morning so that daylight is sufficient.
