Gracarca, Archaeological mountain summit in Sankt Kanzian am Klopeiner See, Austria

The Gracarca mountain rises to 676 meters above sea level, featuring exposed conglomerate rock formations and trails leading to archaeological excavation sites.

Archaeological investigations since 1992 have uncovered remains from the Bronze Age, Hallstatt period, and La Tène period, suggesting continuous settlement patterns.

The mountain contains numerous millstone imprints carved into conglomerate rocks, which were previously interpreted as ancient ceremonial structures by local inhabitants.

A marked cultural hiking trail provides access to the ridge while educational panels along the path explain the archaeological findings and geological formations.

Excavations revealed a substantial Roman water collection basin measuring 100 square meters, along with evidence of Celtic iron smelting activities.
