Celtic Ramparts of Dünsberg

Highlight • Historical Site

Video 5: Three ring walls surround the mighty summit of the Dünsberg. There are remnants of former Celtic fortification walls that have fulfilled their protective function for around 1,300 years. Their course is largely based on the contour lines. The dimensions of the building are enormous. The ring system covers an area of approx. 70 hectares. The surrounding ring walls have a total length of approx. 9 km.

Celtic homestead at Dünsberg

Highlight • Historical Site

Information and Museum Education Center
The reconstruction of a Celtic farmstead on the Dünsberg, built in 2006, consists of a residential building (main building) and two outbuildings, which are modeled on storage and commercial buildings.
Access is through a reconstructed Keltentor, which gives a good insight into the construction of Celtic city walls.
 
The main building serves as an information and educational center, where the history, in particular about the life of the Celts on Dünsberg and the flora and fauna of the Dünsberg is informed.
The small building erected as a pile dwelling is a free reconstruction of a storage building excavated on the eastern spur of the Dünsberg. Such "four-post stores" belonged to the farms throughout the Celtic period. Among other things, the pile dwelling prevented pests from reaching the stocks stored here (eg grain).

The Celtic homestead is to give the visitors everything worth knowing in an overall presentation before entering the world of the Dünsberg, whereby the Celtic culture has a prominent position.

Opening hours: April-October (at the opening days of the rest area)
Wednesday (during the summer holidays) and Saturday: 13:00 - 17:00 Sunday 10:00 - 17:00
Guided tours are also possible outside the opening hours by appointment.

September 2, 2023,Dünsberg – Weitblickrunde von Königsberg
A beautiful round in the Lahn-Dill mountains in an interesting landscape. Unfortunately, due to the fog, no distant views today.

Today we followed in the footsteps of the Celts on the Dünsberg. A really great and varied hike! From the first to the last meter it never gets boring. The tour is not signposted.

Short lunchtime tour around the Dünsberg in partly very cloudy weather.
Autumn is slowly coming, because the wind is getting fresher, a few leaves are already falling and the sun is already quite low at 3 p.m.


Nevertheless, it's always nice to gain a few meters in altitude on Dünsberg 👍🏻
Unfortunately, the tower and the tavern are not open …
