Getting there
From Herbertingen station, take naldo bus line 419. It runs only as an on-demand bus (Rufbus), so you have to request it in advance.

The Heuneburg is an oppidum, a fortified settlement, near Riedlingen. Today it’s an open-air museum known as the Keltenerlebniswelt Heuneburg (Celtic Experience World) and is protected as a cultural monument (Kulturdenkmal). It opens only in the warmer half of the year, is closed on Mondays unless it’s a public holiday, and shuts completely over the winter.

Without a car, you get there on a regional bus line that runs only on demand. The one thing to plan for is food: it’s not clear whether there will be any on site, because the catering at the Keltenerlebniswelt is currently being put out to tender. It makes sense to bring your own.

Why kids will love it

It’s an open-air museum on the site of a Celtic fortified settlement, so the visit happens outside, on the ground where the settlement stood.
