When it was discovered, the princely burial mound of Hochdorf had been reduced to a mere mound of ground. After its reconstruction in 1987, it once again forms an imposing landmark with a diameter of 60 m, a height of 6 m, and a volume of 7,000 m³ of earth and 280 tons of stone. The mound is freely accessible and is half a kilometer from the museum. From the top, you have a magnificent view 👀 of the surrounding landscape 👍🏼

Around 550 BC, a man aged around 40 to 50 was buried here with princely pomp. A mighty burial mound, around 6 m high and 60 m in diameter, was built over the burial chamber. It was not until the 1970s that traces of this mighty grave monument were found again. The Baden-Württemberg State Monument Authority carried out excavations from 1978 to 1979. The result was and still is sensational: the burial chamber was found completely unrobbed. The dead man was lying on a bronze couch. The prince wore the typical large gold collar and his dagger as a badge of status. Golden funeral jewelry suggests that the body was laid out in a ceremonial manner. The many fragments of fabrics and other objects are of particular importance. In keeping with his status, his four-wheeled, iron-clad cart with yoke and decorated bridle was placed in the grave. A showpiece of bronzesmithing from the Mediterranean region is the large lion cauldron, which contained over 400 litres of mead.

The watch tower on the Wartberg dates back to the 15th century and was once used as an observation post for the Pforzheim city fortifications. A spiral staircase takes you to the upper platform, from which you can enjoy a great view. The total height of the tower to the roof is eleven meters. If you want to climb the tower, you have to get the key from the nearby restaurant L'Osteria (Wartbergallee 10). Next to the tower there is a playground for little hikers.
