In spring 2014, various bronze objects were found on the Hohenberg plateau in the immediate vicinity of the Hohenberg Tower. Subsequent extensive archaeological excavations lead to the discovery of a late Bronze Age hill settlement (approx. 1300-800 BC)

A very interesting information board about this Bronze Age hilltop settlement is located further up, right next to the Hohenberg Tower.

There isn't much to see of it, but that's not the highlight of the tour.
