Keltenkelch Sculpture on the Celtic Sculpture Trail

Highlight • Monument

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.
