The first excavations in Herchenbach took place around 1900, and archaeologists got to work intensively in the 1980s. Five burial mounds with up to ten burial sites were explored. Underneath is a large chariot grave, which indicates that it was an important person, perhaps a tribal prince. The reconstruction of the grave in a trimmed hill can be seen on the historic Püttlinger hiking trail.

I find it very interesting and have visited the reconstructed wagon grave again after a long time. Well-developed paths lead there, but I would wish for better signs.
