Bleibeskopf, Summit and archaeological site in Taunus, Germany.
The Bleibeskopf reaches 480 meters in elevation and stands within the Taunus mountain range, offering views of Bad Homburg and the Frankfurt skyline.
During the late Bronze Age around 800 BC, a pre-Celtic hillfort of the Urnfield culture occupied the summit, leaving circular rampart remains measuring 490 meters in length.
The archaeological findings at Bleibeskopf include bronze artifacts such as a hatchet, a lance tip, a knife, a needle, a razor, and leg rings.
Multiple hiking trails connect Bleibeskopf to nearby towns, with routes ranging from 8 to 22 kilometers suitable for different experience levels.
The ancient ramparts still visible today maintain a thickness of 3 to 3.5 meters and rise to a height of 1.8 meters around the summit.
