A beautiful circular hiking trail with several archaeological highlights from the Celtic period, including burial mounds, a replica of a burial mound and a rampart. At the sufficiently large car park there are several boards with explanations of the finds, including the famous Speikerner Reiterlein.

Hiking

The archaeological hiking trail provides an insight into numerous sites from prehistory and the early Middle Ages. On the way, information boards give precise information about the history at sites where they were found, at the reconstruction of a burial mound and at a medieval lime kiln.
