From Kathpedia: "The pagan wall (French: Mur Païen) is a more than 10 km long, up to 3 m high, probably Bronze Age protective wall, which gives the archaeologist puzzles.The remains of this enclosure were restored by the Romans and used as an observation post for the The Romans called the place Altitona which became Hohenburg among the Merovingians who left several tombs on the Odilienberg.

These remains of the wall in the middle of the forest exude a peculiar fascination, especially as the age, builder, purpose of the building are not really clarified until today. More detailed information can be found on the following website:
odilienberg-elsass.de/die-heidenmauer
But here too the conclusion: many explanations, little real knowledge. But that's what makes it so exciting. For me an interesting completion of our visit to the Odilienberg.

This is probably a circular path, where you can always find parts of a mighty masonry. Here on this short climb particularly impressive.
