    Hiking

    Early medieval section fortifications preserved as ramparts. Visible evidence of this rampart are stone walls along the edges of the high plateau.
    Translated by
    The Gangolfsberg ramparts are a rampart and hilltop castle that was used as a rampart, refuge and protective castle from Celtic times to the early Middle Ages.
    The ruins are located on the summit plateau of the Gangolfsberg in today's Oberelsbach district in the Lower Franconian district of Rhön-Grabfeld in Bavaria.
