Celtic FULL MOON delight

An atmospheric full moon walk around the Heidengraben: experience stories, myths, and art related to Celtic moon culture, with full moon sparkling wine, a warming drink, and soup at the end in the Heidengraben Center. The Celts attached great importance to the moon—both in the British Isles and on the European mainland. They regarded it as the pacemaker of time and a symbol of change, renewal, and the forces of nature. Festivals and rituals were often based on the phases of the moon. The famous Celtic calendar of Coligny, for example, shows that the months were calculated according to the course of the moon, and ancient authors such as Pliny and Strabo report that cultic rituals were aligned with specific lunar days. Even though researchers today assume that there was no independent "moon cult" in the narrower sense, the full moon was still a special, sacred time—a moment when nature, light, and spirituality were connected. A night walk on the Alb plateau around the Heidengraben is a good opportunity to explore these moods and the moon with all your senses.  A glass of full moon sparkling wine will be served as a welcome and to get you in the mood. We will follow in the footsteps of the Celts and explore many stories, poems, and myths about the moon, and we will also view a few works of art in the moonlight. A warming drink along the way and a cozy finish with a delicious soup at the Heidengraben Experience Center round off the event. Let yourself be surprised! After the event, you can visit the exhibition at the Heidengraben Center. This is free of charge for walk participants.
