Hiking
Merlin's Tomb is a megalithic burial dating from the Neolithic period. It was robbed by grave robbers and destroyed in the 19th century after it was discovered. Originally, it is said to have been twelve meters long and covered in red schist.

Hiking
One of the greatest legendary figures would be missing from Europe's collective memory if he didn't exist: MERLIN (according to Wikipedia, the Welsh origin of the name is Myrddin or Merddin) is one of the greatest stars in the sky of mythology. Together with the heroic King Arthur, the legendary magician has conquered a permanent place in European literary history - at least in the fantasy world of countless authors who have told his story over and over again for centuries, and above all in their readers or listeners who are always fascinated by it.
