Hiking
The Wotanfels is an 8 meter high calcareous algae, one of the most striking features in the Zellertal. Centuries ago it was used by our Celtic ancestors as a place of sacrifice for their god Wotan. At the highest point, in the midst of the Riesling vines, it still exudes an extraordinary aura today.
