Altburg

Altburg is a Celtic settlement with preserved stone walls and foundations in the Hunsruck region. The remains show how people built their houses and where they gathered.

The Celtic Treveri people built this fortification several centuries before the common era. The site was later abandoned and forgotten until archaeologists uncovered the remains.

The site's name refers to the old fortress, and today you can see how people lived and worked here. The remains show a community that practiced crafts and trade, building their settlement with intention.

The site is accessible and information about the excavation helps you understand what you are seeing. The best time to visit is in dry weather, since the ground is partly uneven.

The foundations still trace the exact shape of the original houses today. This allows us to see how closely people lived together and how they used their space.
