Celtic circular wall of Otzenhausen

The Celtic circular wall extends 2.5 kilometers in length, reaching heights of 10 meters with stone fortifications surrounding the hilltop settlement.

During the first century BCE, Celtic tribes constructed this fortification as a military stronghold and center of regional administration.

Archaeological excavations within the enclosure reveal evidence of metal workshops, storage facilities, and trade activities from the late Iron Age period.

The site includes interpretive panels along a marked trail, providing information about the structure and Celtic life throughout the walking route.

The wall incorporates an advanced architectural technique using wooden beams and iron nails to reinforce the stone construction, demonstrating Celtic engineering skills.
