Gödény-halom, Prehistoric burial mound in Békésszentandrás, Hungary.
Gödény-halom stands at a height of 12.2 meters as the largest Cumanian mound in central Europe, marking the boundaries of Békés, Csongrád, and Szolnok counties.
The mound dates back over 5000 years, predating the Egyptian pyramids, and has witnessed the presence of the Roman Empire and Hungarian settlement in the Carpathian Basin.
The name derives from pelicans that gathered at this location 200-300 years ago, while researchers debate whether it served as a burial site or ceremonial ground.
Visitors can access the mound via a 5-kilometer route that offers opportunities to observe local wildlife including deer, rabbits, and birds of prey.
This protected site contains some of the last remaining specimens of native wheat in the region and provided strategic military advantages with visibility up to 5 kilometers.
