Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 29/03/2016

What appears to be a cave situated »6.5 miles« (10.5 km) above –>Tomba Wodar is barely mentioned by HERBERT (1825: 367): »… Hopeha Wodar, a halting place (no village), on the banks of a stream») and marked something along the lines of »Hopeho Wodar« or »Hopcho Wodar« (cho = stream; wodar = udyar = house, cave or rock shelter) on the accompanying but effectively printed and difficult to read folding map.
