The reconstructed burial mounds in the meadow are part of a larger burial ground, which dates back to 700 BC. Was created by Celtic peasants. In the forest you can still - more or less clearly - recognize over 30 other burial mounds.

On the connecting road between Litzendorf and Geisfeld is probably the most beautiful celtic cemetery in Upper Franconia. Of the original more than 50 burial mounds, 33 are still in the adjacent forest.
The hills were grave monuments of early Celtic peasants whose size and features indicate the social status of the deceased.
