Culture and sights
Museums
The Heuneburg Museum in the former tithe barn of the Heiligkreuztal Monastery houses excavation finds from the Heuneburg and the Celtic princely graves . The Heuneburg circular hiking trail , an archaeological educational trail , leads over a total of eight kilometers from the Heuneburg Museum in Hundersingen to the most important sites of the early Celtic settlement center on the upper Danube and after about 2.5 to 3 hours back to the starting point. The Heuneburg circular hiking trail leads from the museum to Lehenbühl, a large grave mound from the first half of the 6th century, and follows the edge of the hill above the Danube. At this distance the remains of the medieval are Baumburg (Buwenburg), which may decline in the core to an Iron Age United grave. From there, the path continues at the Talhof to the open-air museum of the Celtic Prince's seat in Heuneburg, about three kilometers northeast of the village . The nature trail now leads north, to a group of four large grave mounds in Gießübel / Talhau, and into the forest. Via the Soppenweiher you get to the Wiedhauhütte, then to the Hohmichele , one of the largest still preserved burial mounds in Central Europe, and finally to a Celtic square hill. From there it goes east through the forest, later south over a dirt road to Hundersingen. The archaeological monuments are provided with detailed explanatory panels.
Celtic burial ground of the Bettelbühl necropolis
In 2005, around two kilometers south of the Heuneburg, a children's grave with numerous jewelry items was found, which was created around 590 BC. As part of a rescue excavation , the archaeologists of the Baden-Württemberg State Office for Monument Preservation found a woman's grave in 2010. For better processing and evaluation of the finds in the 3.6 m by 4.5 m large grave chamber made of oak wood, this was brought with the surrounding soil as an 80 ton block in a former industrial hall in Ludwigsburg . From September 2012 to February 2013, selected finds from Hundersingen were shown in the large state exhibition The World of the Celts in the Württemberg State Museum .
