In the summer of 2013 and 2014, artists created a Celtic sculpture trail on the Donnersberg. Under the direction of Uli Lamp, 13 figures were created that show motifs from the world of the Celts: There is a wooden warrior, a Celtic chalice, a school of salmon and a sculpture that symbolizes the power of the bull. You can discover the figures on an eight-kilometer circular route. Some of them catch your eye straight away, while others are almost a little mysteriously hidden in the forest.

Epona is the horse and fertility goddess of the Celts, her sculpture is represented here with a horse's head. In the Celtic original, the horse is usually her companion animal and a cornucopia identifies her as the goddess of fertility.

Today I decided to walk to the Wildenstein ruin, everything was good, only the way back along the Wildensteinbach turned out to be difficult, we had to constantly climb over trees / branches that were lying around, the creek has even washed away part of the way because the actual creek bed was blocked by branches.
