Heidentor, Archaeological site in Egesheim, Germany
Heidentor is an archaeological site marked by a natural stone arch set into a forested hillside. The location shows evidence of human activity spanning several ancient periods.
This site functioned as an important sanctuary during the Iron Age, with evidence showing it was visited over many centuries. Artifacts found here span from the Late Hallstatt through the Early La Tene periods.
This location served as a sacred place where people came to leave offerings and seek blessings. Visitors today can sense how this site held spiritual meaning for those who gathered here.
Reaching this site involves climbing a steep path through woodland. Sturdy footwear and dry conditions are advisable for a safer and more comfortable visit.
A Celtic rainbow cup coin from the 3rd century BC found here reveals the site was connected to a wider network of sacred places across Europe. This discovery offers rare evidence of long-distance contacts during ancient times.
