Very nice and humorously furnished hut.
With a lot to see for young and old, lots of attention to detail.

At this romantic spring pond there was an important old settlement of the Celts from the Middle Bronze Age (Hallstadt period). During excavations, a particularly large number of artefacts were found at this location, which are on display in the Jüchsen and Steinsburg museums.

Widderstatt Celtic Settlement

Highlight • Historical Site

A special attraction is the scenic "Widderstatt" site, located on the Jüchsen-Wachenbrunn road, one of the most important prehistoric settlements in southern Thuringia.

The first evidence of the Celtic settlement "Widderstatt" was discovered in 1905 by the Jüchsen pastor F. Späth, and in 1954, Klaus Heydenblut from Themar discovered the first bronze jewelry and fragments of glass arm rings. In 1966, under the direction of Prof. Behm-Blanke (honored by a memorial stone in the Widderstatt), systematic excavations began (2 x 70-meter sections) of 1.2 hectares from the stream to the Toter Mann parcel, heading west.

July 2, 2024,Auf dem Kelten-Erlebnisweg bei Jüchsen 🕹️
I modified the route suggested by Touringen a little and just collected the stamps, as I had seen some other Komoot users do. Thanks for the idea and template. This meant I could do the tour as a circular route. The best thing was the panoramic view from the Köhlershügel, which I hadn't expected. Unfortunately, I didn't see any Celts …
