Mittel-Berg, Archaeological hill summit in Nebra, Germany
The Mittelberg hill rises 252 meters above sea level in the Burgenlandkreis region of Saxony-Anhalt, featuring a forested landscape and observation tower.
The location gained international recognition in 1999 when treasure hunters discovered the Nebra Sky Disc, a Bronze Age artifact depicting celestial bodies.
The summit contains a stainless steel installation called Sky Eye that reflects the connection between earth and cosmos at the exact discovery site.
Visitors can reach Mittelberg by taking the Unstrut Railway to Wangen station, followed by a shuttle bus service from the Arche Nebra visitor center.
The 30-meter observation tower leans at a 10-degree angle, functioning as a pointer in a large sundial system aligned with summer solstice sunset.
