Culture and sights
- Parish church hl. George and cemetery
Significant grave finds from the Hallstatt period were discovered in Kleinklein . During walks in the forests around Goldes one often comes across small to medium-sized hilltops, which under their layer of soil overgrown Hallstatt-era graves ( tumulus ) accommodate. The Hallstatt Museum presents finds and findings from the region from around five and a half millennia. They span a period from the Neolithic to the late Middle Ages.
The Burgstallkogel is seen as one of the most important sites of the older Iron Age. A hillside settlement was discovered on it, which is connected to a burial ground in the Sulmtal (Sulmtal necropolis ). There are around 700 grave sites (burial mounds) in it. Four rich princely graves were discovered on a river terrace near Kleinklein. They are included in the eastern Hallstatt district. The results of an excavation have been examined by an interdisciplinary research group.
