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 firmament of mythology. Along with the heroic King Arthur, the legendary magician has carved out a permanent place for himself in European literary history – at least in the imaginary world of countless authors who have retold his story over and over again for centuries, and above all in the ever-fascinating readers and listeners.
I don't know what historical connection this hiking highlight has with the figure of the legendary magician. But the main thing is: The myth lives on!
