    The mighty wall that is still visible today is called "Viking Castle". But was not built by you, but thousands of years earlier. For more information, see the link below

    This Viking castle has absolutely no connection to Vikings. Instead, it is a Bronze Age fortification wall from the 11th/12th century BC. It was used to seal off access to the Ferschweiler Plateau. The moss-covered stones that can be seen here today were piled up here at a later time, when the original wall had long since been destroyed.
