Plešivec, Bronze Age hillfort in Rejkovice, Czech Republic

The Plešivec hillfort extends across an elongated hill, featuring stone walls up to 10 meters wide and consisting of an acropolis with a fore-castle.

Archaeological findings indicate that between 1300 and 800 BC, the site functioned as a bronze-working center with evidence of furnaces and metallurgical activities.

The location holds numerous legends, including stories of Pan Fabian, the mythical lord of Brdy, and a snake queen traveling through woods on a white deer.

Visitors can reach the site via marked tourist trails from surrounding towns like Horovice, Rpety, Lochovice, or Hostomice, with train connections available at Rejkovice station.

The archaeological site contains multiple bronze object depots and remains isolated from regular settlements, suggesting its primary role as a sacred ceremonial location.
