background
Celtic graves GlaubergOn the Celtic route on the eastern edge of the Wetterau the Glauberg is near the village Glauburg. It offers a wonderful view and represents a central point of the regional settlement history. Impressive wall remains are still visible today. The Glauberg was settled and fortified again and again from the 5th millennium BC (Neolithic) to the 13th century AD (High Middle Ages). You can find out interesting facts about this on the walk-in cultural-historical nature trail.
