Celtic Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The spring has a rather unusual position for a spring due to its location at the top of the mountain

Here you are on the summit of the historic mountain "Eibenhardt". 302 m above sea level!

Celtic ring fort on the Eibenhardt

Highlight • Historical Site

The remains of a presumably Celtic ring wall which, with a diameter of approx. 400 m, almost completely encloses the Eibenhardt mountain top. The original fortification consisted of a moat and a wall, which was equipped with wooden palisades. The highest point on the Eibenhardt, in the middle of the ring wall, is referred to in various documents as the "Riesenhöfchen". The ring wall served not only as a “refuge” for the population of the surrounding settlements, but also as a place of residence for a permanent occupation. The highest point on the Eibenhardt in the middle of the ring wall is known as the "Riesenhöfchen". There is a presumption that the next Celtic settlement was in the area of today's Cölbe. This is indicated by "Kulbe", the Celtic name for swamp. In the period from 200 to 100 BC The Celts were ousted or mixed with the Germanic Chatti tribe. This system lost its importance. Instead, the Teutons established a place of worship for their god Donar on the top of the mountain, as well as a cremation place for their high nobles.

View of Amöneburg from Schafrain

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Schafrain there is a wonderful view of the Amöneburg, the former bishop's seat of the important missionary Bonifatius in the Franconian period. From here, hikers can also let their gaze wander over to Reddehausen, the Cölbe-Schönstadt airfield and the Cölbe golf course. As the name suggests, the meadows at this point were used as communal pasture land for sheep and as a planting garden until the 20th century.

Riesenstuhl Stone Circle

Highlight • Natural Monument

There used to be a legendary stone circle here that was popularly known as the "giant chair". In 1898 some of these sandstones were transported to Sarnau for house building. Only the largest stones, such as the “giant chair” or the “baking trough”, were perhaps left behind out of awe or superstition. The collection of stones is now commonly referred to as the "giant chair" - after the one that has the shape of an armchair.

View over the Lahn Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Lahn flows below. How it has made its way between Hippersberg and Eibenhardt over millions of years is amazing.
