Extratour Keltenpfad - Vacha - Rhön

On the northernmost summit of the Rhön there was once a Celtic settlement, which originally served to protect trade routes and to secure border areas. On the Celtic Path there are numerous, ancient remains of Celtic fortifications along the way. The path meanders through the beech forests of Öchsenberg and Dietrichsberg - what was then Buchonia. From the summit of the Öchsenberg there is an incredible panoramic view, you can see very far into the Werra and Ulster valleys. The appearance of the massive Öchsenberg, which is characterized by the decades of basalt mining, is also impressive. It seems as if this gigantic backdrop is now being recaptured by nature. When you arrive at Dietrichsberg, you can discover various forms of basalt. Who recognizes most of them? We continue to the Geiskopf, where the sea of ​​basalt blocks is waiting for us. A real highlight, although unfortunately you cannot swim here. The so-called sea consists of stones, but gives a fantastic view! Last we reach the "Alter Bruch", where the large basalt columns are fascinating. The Celtic Path is really a varied experience. The conclusion is a visit to the Celtic village at the foot of the Oechsenberg with lots of exciting information about the life of the Celts.
