Travel news 08/2022 – Europe drought reveals old sunken ships, villages, and hunger stones

Europe drought

The world is aware of the current drought situation in Europe and it’s not looking good. In the recent turn of events, severe drought in a number of countries exposed years old sunken ships, ominous stones and several lost villages. Most of the rivers and lakes in the continent have dried, which has created a number of problems.

The continuously receding levels of water have brought out some olden sunken treasures and one of the most doomy things to be exposed are the ‘hunger stones’; why doomy? Because these stones at the waterline of rivers are warning from the previous droughts for the future generations. If the stones show above water, it means that hardship lies ahead.

A number of these ominous stones can be seen on the banks of the Elbe River, flowing from the Czech Republic through Germany. A stone from the 15th century that surfaced back in 1616 has also come out of the water. During that time, locals had inscribed on the stone, “if you see me, cry”.

Europe drought

In Galicia, a lost village has appeared because of drought. The ghost village of Aceredo was sunk in 1992 because of a reservoir. In England’s Swindon, some ghost gardens from the 17th century have emerged at Lydiard Park.

On the other hand, in Serbia’s Danube River, remains of World War II ships have been exposed. These ships, that were part of a Nazi fleet sunk in 1944, are still loaded with heavy explosives.

In Italy’s Po River, unexploded ordnance has been found. Because of this, nearly 3000 people were evicted from a village as experts removed and exploded a previously-submerged WW II bomb. Not only this, a sunken German barge from 1943 has also emerged in the river.

In Rome’s River Tiber, ruins of an ancient bridge from the time of Emperor Nero (nearly 50 AD) have also emerged. The more and more of the structure is visible each day indicating low levels of water.

Another shocking revelation was made in Spain, where the Dolmen of Guadalperal (or the ‘Spanish Stonehenge’) has appeared in the Valdecanas reservoir, which is believed to be from 5000 BC! These stone circles were initially discovered in 1926. But, in 1963, the whole region was flooded.

With all these incidents of reappearances of ghost villages, ships, gardens and rock, we can only imagine how bad the drought conditions are in Europe.
