The Celtic oppidum of Menosgada on the Staffelberg

The Staffelberg is a hill in Bavaria, Germany, located in the Franconian Switzerland. It is a site of significant historical interest, where first settlements date from the Neolithic period. Over the centuries, Romans, Celts, and Franconians all settled on the land.

During the La Tène period, the Celtic oppidum of Menosgada was built on the plateau of the Staffelberg. Today, the hill remains a prominent landmark, protected by environmental laws that preserve its landscape and history.

Travelers can reach the plateau from the town of Bad Staffelstein, which lies at the foot of the hill. The site is located close to Vierzehnheiligen and the district capital of Lichtenfels. At the peak of the hill, visitors can find a little chapel called Adelgundiskapelle and a restaurant.
