The Adam's Peak is a 2240m high mountain south-west in Sri Lanka. It is famous for the Sri Pada the "sacred footprint", a 1.8 m rock formation close to the summit. The Buddhists see it as the footprint of the Buddha, the Hindus that of Shiva and in Islamic and Christian tradition that of Adam and of St. Thomas. The mountain is an old pilgrim site of the four large religions.
