Whale watching in Franken???

Just a few words to that hill: The official name of it is Ehrenbürg. On top of it is a chapel that's associated with St. Walburga, the holy Walburga. The Franconians pet named her Walberla, a diminutive form of Walburga. As in Georg - Gerchla, Angelika - Geli, etc.  And yes, there's an iron age hillfort on top. It's Celtic, not pre-Celtic.
