Following in the footsteps of the Celts you hike to vantage points, and relax in brine baths. You look at the statues of Celtic warriers and princes, along with their weapons, their jewelry and grave goods. In 1000 B.C.E., the Celts settled all over Europe, traveled along the rivers, operated saltworks at brine springs, founded settlements and built castles with panoramic views over the country. You can buy an illustrated 'Historical Atlas of the Celtic World' via Abebooks UK Near the Main river at Frankfurt the "Road of the Celts" leads you to the brine pits and the Johannis mountain in Bad Nauheim, the graves of princes on the Glauberg mountain in the Wetterau, the settlements on the Hausberg and on the Bruelerberg mountains near Butzbach, the Duensberg mountain near Giessen, the Altkoenig mountain in the Taunus region, the Museum of the Wetterau region in Friedberg.
