Archäologisches Freilichtmuseum im Keltendorf Schwarzenbach

Dive into the fascinating world of the Celts at the Archäologisches Freilichtmuseum im Keltendorf Schwarzenbach! Here, visitors will find one of the largest Celtic settlements in the Eastern Alps, surrounded by an impressive, up to 10-meter-high city wall spanning approximately 15 hectares. The Celtic fortification in Schwarzenbach is considered one of Austria's best-preserved Iron Age sites.

The open-air museum houses reconstructed houses and original artifacts, which offer deep insights into Celtic life in the first and second centuries BCE. In hands-on workshops, such as comb weaving, you can experience ancient crafts firsthand. 🛠️

An absolute highlight is the annual Celtic Festival at the Summer Solstice! ✨ Experience exciting days full of live music, a vibrant Celtic market, archery, blacksmith demonstrations, and drumming. For the little ones, there's a nature workshop, bagpipe sounds, and a petting zoo 🐑. Look forward to thrilling shows like the "Celtic Games" with a Celtic decathlon and breathtaking stunt shows by EPONA, featuring mounted weapon drills and combat demonstrations. In the evening, a magical atmosphere is created during the ritual lighting of the solstice fire. 🔥

From the Johann-Giefing-Aussichtsturm, you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view over the Bucklige Welt, Burgenland, and as far as Hungary. 🔭 The Celtic village is also part of the expansive Landseer Berge Nature Park, which offers charming circular hiking trails with informative signs about local nature and Celtic history – perfect for a family outing 🌳. Here, children's birthdays can also be celebrated in an unforgettable way! 🎉
