An old wall is hidden below the ruins - similar to the eternally long one on the Odilien Berg. Again the question arose how the heck the people at that time could work on and transport these huge blocks without reasonable tools and without a crane, provided that the wall should actually be a building from the Bronze Age.

Hiking

The entire loop is not suitable for beginners, it is not easy for all fitness levels since most of the trail contains rocks and gravel. A lot of uphill hiking with some strenuously narrow paths. I would categorize the hike as "intermediate"
