Tips
To be discovered at the top of the rock face.
The relief of Nantosuelta, the patron goddess of house and court, and that of Sucellus, the god of miners and blacksmiths, can still be recognized from this Gallo-Roman idol carved into the rock face. And it was supposed to protect those who mined the azurite on these slopes hundreds of years ago, which occurred between Wallerfangen and St. Barbara and was of great importance for the production.translated by
