About this audio guide
This guide to the Engelsburg Keltenwall above Rothenburg ob der Tauber takes the hilltop name at its word, then checks it against what lies in the ground. It moves from Celts to Stone Age settlers, early medieval defenders and quarrymen, and asks how much one tidy label can hide. Stand by the earth bank of the section wall, facing the old town across the valley.
