Fascinating wall from the Celts. Built up here - however who did it? !!!
The trail along the wall is sometimes very difficult to drive or some passages are not manageable you have to walk down steps and carry the bike otherwise very demanding!

Length of the loop approximately 10.2 km. Northern Circuit of the Pagan Wall (5.7 km).
Its construction dates back to the 7th century.
The wall was classified as a historical monument by the list of historical monuments of 1840 and "archaeological site of national interest" in 1987. The quality of conservation of the wall is quite variable. It was indeed used as a quarry in the Middle Ages to build among other things the castle of Hagelschloss and has suffered various degradations over the centuries.
