アスペルクの絶景の山頂・トップ4

When it was discovered, the princely burial mound of Hochdorf had been reduced to a mere mound of ground. After its reconstruction in 1987, it once again forms an imposing landmark with a diameter of 60 m, a height of 6 m, and a volume of 7,000 m³ of earth and 280 tons of stone. The mound is freely accessible and is half a kilometer from the museum. From the top, you have a magnificent view 👀 of the surrounding landscape 👍🏼

The hill was artificially raised in the 1950s, mainly using large amounts of rubble. The new hill that was created was initially called Heiner by the locals and soon became a destination for excursions. After it was overgrown with grass and other vegetation, the new conical hill was given the new nickname Green Heiner because of its more pleasing appearance. It owes its popularity in particular to the good view in clear weather.

Around 550 BC, a man aged around 40 to 50 was buried here with princely pomp. A mighty burial mound, around 6 m high and 60 m in diameter, was built over the burial chamber. It was not until the 1970s that traces of this mighty grave monument were found again. The Baden-Württemberg State Monument Authority carried out excavations from 1978 to 1979. The result was and still is sensational: the burial chamber was found completely unrobbed. The dead man was lying on a bronze couch. The prince wore the typical large gold collar and his dagger as a badge of status. Golden funeral jewelry suggests that the body was laid out in a ceremonial manner. The many fragments of fabrics and other objects are of particular importance. In keeping with his status, his four-wheeled, iron-clad cart with yoke and decorated bridle was placed in the grave. A showpiece of bronzesmithing from the Mediterranean region is the large lion cauldron, which contained over 400 litres of mead.

Here (slightly above the bench "Besiedlung des Lembergs") you can see the Engelberg Tower as well as towards Höfingen, as well as towards Prague (Skyline Living and Porsche Design Tower), and towards Fellbach Tower.

From above there is a unique 360-degree all-round view. Many benches, some with tables, are located all over the mountain and invite you to take a break.
