Hiking

The Keltenschanze is an Iron Age archaeological monument located near Kist. It is a circular rampart with a diameter of about 100 meters, which probably served as a fortification or place of worship. The Keltenschanze is a popular hiking destination as it offers a beautiful view of the landscape and provides an insight into the history of the Celts.

Hiking

More than 2000 years ago, people lived here on what is now the Bavarian/Baden Württemberg state border. During the excavations in 1938, pottery shards, metal objects and parts of a plow and spade were found.

In addition, researchers had uncovered the foundations of a longhouse. The house dates from the 12th-14th centuries. Today, through the dense stock of trees, only the man-made wall and the former cistern can be seen.
