    Hiking

    Exposed and partially restored by the annual archaeological excavations, the old ring wall lies directly below the basalt cone

    Hiking

    The ring wall itself dates back to the time of the Celts and probably served as a refuge or place of worship. The remains of the ramparts are still clearly visible and make for an exciting exploration tour. The climb to the summit is a bit strenuous, but the view and the historic atmosphere definitely make the effort worthwhile.

    The rampart on the Rauher Kulm is a fortification at the foot of the Rauher Kulm.

    Gate area of the rampart

    Area disturbed by quarrying
    The Rauher Kulm, as a basalt mountain in the otherwise flat surroundings, was already visited by people in prehistoric times. The rampart made of basalt blocks runs around the foot of the mountain. Finds point to the Bronze Age, the Celts, the time of the Carolingians and the Slavic settlement chambers. Fighting took place during the time of the Hungarian invasions.
