Heuneburg

The fortification measures 300 by 150 meters and stands on a mountain spur 40 meters above the Danube River, controlling a region of 1,000 square kilometers.

Archaeological investigations since the 1920s have revealed that Heuneburg functioned as a major trade and power center between 700 and 500 BCE in Central Europe.

The museum displays numerous artifacts including Greek imports, Baltic amber, Slovenian jewelry, and transport vessels from Marseilles, demonstrating extensive trade connections.

The museum welcomes visitors from April through October, Tuesday to Sunday including holidays, with guided tours available for groups and school classes.

The archaeological site features reconstructed burial mounds, including the Hohmichele, which ranks among the largest prehistoric burial structures in Europe.
