About this audio guide
This guide to Sandberg, on the edge of Bratislava in Devínska Nová Ves, starts with a landlocked hill that keeps producing things from the sea. It follows the pale sand you are standing on back to a warm basin millions of years ago, and forward to the people who came to dig it. An Austrian palaeontologist and an extinct ape turn up along the way. Best heard from the marked path, facing the open sand walls.
