    Hiking

    In the Ackerswald and Heidenbösch forest sections, traces dating back thousands of years lie beneath moss-covered hills: Celtic burial sites dating back to around 100 BC.
    The burial mounds were originally surrounded by stone rings – today, only the vaults and a few fallen limestones remain.
    Particularly impressive: A warrior's sword was discovered hidden in one of the graves – along with pottery and scissors.


    💡 Tip:
    The graves are located directly on an ancient long-distance route – the "Höhenstraße" (High Road) between present-day Frohnhofen and Bubach. Just pause for a moment and let the experience sink in.
