    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.

    Limestone blocks in the middle of the vineyard;
    "In the early 8th century, the missionary Philipp, who came from England, built a monastery cell on the mysterious Wodansfelsen. The monastery settlement of Zell grew out of the 'cellula'."
