シュレットシュタット-エルスタンの天然記念物・トップ20

The Rocher des Celtes ("Celtic Rock") is a natural rock formation near Dambach-la-Ville in Alsace. Its name comes from legends that attribute a connection to its Celtic past. Today, the rock is a popular hiking destination with beautiful views over vineyards and forests.

Possible origins of the name: Celtic rituals: It is believed that solstice and sacrificial fires were lit here in Celtic times. Charcoal burners' fire: The "fire" could also refer to the fires lit by charcoal burners in the surrounding forests of the Vosges Mountains. Cattle pasture: A popular theory states that the French word "feu" is a corruption of the German word "Vieh," meaning "field of cattle," as it was a sparsely wooded plateau where cattle could graze.
