The Gollenstein is considered the largest Menhir in Central Europe.
But arrived there, the information board tells me that the Gollenstein is not a Menhir at all.
For Menhirs are Celtic and the Gollenstein is from 3000 BC, from the Neolithic Age. There were no Celts yet.
This Gollenstein was overturned in the war and broke. Later erected again (cemented), hence the bright joints.
Then to the holy mountain of the Celts, the 1009m high Donon. Perhaps I can find something there.
The ascent through the hills is very nice.
Birches are the last deciduous trees as usual. In addition many colorful shrubs.
And there is also a free snack.
Shortly before the summit I can already see a promising structure.
But here I must read that the temple is not original, but a reconstruction of a Colmar architect (after all, a descendant of the Celts) by order of Napoleon.
Then maybe this little round thing in the middle of the picture is an original sacrificial altar?
Oh no, that looks German!
Remains the tower in the background, steel frame with fiberglass fairing of the antennas.
At least I'm not reading anything different up here. Now that must be Celtic!
The Donon forest is the source of the rivers white and red Saar, joining together later. I follow them back to the clinic.
