Heidengraben, Archaeological site in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
The Heidengraben settlement spans across 1,700 hectares on the Swabian Jura plateau, featuring extensive fortifications with walls, moats, and eight entrance gates.
Dating from the 2nd century BC, this Celtic fortified settlement remained active until the early 1st century BC during the La Tène period.
The site contains multiple archaeological layers revealing different periods of occupation, from Ice Age inhabitants through Celtic and Roman settlements.
Visitors can explore the archaeological hiking trail called Achsnagelweg and examine artifacts at the museum in Grabenstetten.
Heidengraben stands as the largest fortified Celtic settlement discovered in mainland Europe, incorporating natural steep bluffs rising 400 meters above surrounding areas.
