Hiking

In this area, the path repeatedly crosses the ramparts and ditches of a forest enclosure dating back to the 17th century, according to initial archaeological estimates. In the absence of wire mesh, newly planted trees were surrounded by stick and thorn hedges on ramparts to protect them from browsing by game.

Unfortunately there is nothing more to see here, but there is a beautiful small forest path as an alternative somewhat parallel to the main path

The forest here still has a true jungle feel in parts, although this is probably not accurate. However, there is quite dense undergrowth...
