Oppidum Üetliberg

The archaeological site spans across elevated terrain between 820 and 873 meters, protected by extensive earth walls stretching 2 kilometers in width.

The settlement emerged during the La Tène period around 500 BC and remained active until the Roman conquest in the first century BC.

Archaeological excavations revealed a rich female burial site called Fürstengrab Sonnenbühl, containing artifacts from the fifth century BC.

The remains of ancient fortification walls, measuring up to 14 meters in height and 35 meters in width, are still visible at the summit.

The site contains evidence of continuous human settlement from 4000 BC through the Neolithic period to the early Middle Ages.
