  2. 0:20 Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 13.

  4. 0:35 The tour leader: Many visitors assume the site was always a walking tour, but it was originally built as a pilgrims' route. Later it was used as a trade road for a short time.
  5. 0:47 The tour leader: This year we're especially proud of an audio guide. We had also hoped to open a night tour, but that has been delayed until next year.
  6. 0:56 The tour leader: If you want to avoid the crowds, I'd recommend coming in the early morning. Weekends are always busy.

  15. 1:57 The tour leader: There's no parking on site, but you can park next to the market, which is a two-minute walk away.
  16. 2:03 The tour leader: Finally, if you're planning a group visit, please book by post at least a week in advance. Enjoy your visit.
