Hvolris is an excursion site where you can find culture, nature and sculpture, plenty to see. It covers the area around a small river valley, of the Skals river. Although the oldest remains date to Stone Age, most archaeological material is Iron Age or younger.

The Świętokrzyskie (or Holy Cross) Mountains have been famous for their flint mines of chocolate flint and banded flint since Neolithic times. It was in the 1920s, scientists realised that Krzemionki was the origin with many prehistoric mines still preserved, one of the largest complexes of its kind in Europe.

Just 60 kilometres North of Düsseldorf (DE) and a bit to the east of Nijmegen (NL), the city Xanten is situated. This city used to be known as Ulpia Traiana and existed as Roman Town since 110 AD. Now there is a large archaeological park (73 hectares) with ongoing excavations, a museum and (partly) reconstructed buildings.

Federsee is situated about 100 kilometers south of Stuttgart and 60 kilometers north of lake Constance. This small lake is the remains of a large basin which slowly turned into land over the past 14,000 years. The peat area covers about 33 square kilometers. The village Bad Buchau has for a long while been a spa.

About 90 kilometers southeast of Hamburg, at the B216 between Lüneburg and Dannenberg, the small village of Hitzacker is situated on the west bank of the Elbe. For decades, this river was dividing between East and West Germany. The river bank here is an archaeological reservation, with many remains from the Bronze Age.

The Heuneburg in Baden-Württemberg is a famous Celtic Oppidum from the Early Iron Age, the Middle European Hallstatt Period (7th - 5th century BC). At the end of the 1990s the Federseemuseum and the Heuneburgmuseum at Herbertingen planned to expand their indoor museums both with an outdoor reconstructed are, by means of LEADER+ money from the European Union.

The indoor museum is in Hundersingen, housed in a 18th century granary of the former “Holy Cross Valley Monastery” (Heiligkreuztal).

The archaeological park Saalburg is of very respectable age: It was Emperor Wilhelm II who founded it just north of Frankfurt, in 1907 as an open air museum and research institute. Here you will find large parts of a Roman Castellum reconstructed on the original spot, showing how the Roman army was organised and how Romans constructed their buildings.

The Archaeological open air museum at Unteruhldingen is situated at the Lake Constance in the very south of Germany. It dates back to as long ago as 1922 when the first two ‘Stone Age’ houses were constructed. All reconstructions since (22 so far) are based on lake dwelling excavations in and around the Alps dating to the Stone and Bronze Age. The history of the museum is extensively described. The development of archaeological open air museums can well be illustrated by means of Unteruhldingen.

In 1978, a very rich Celtic grave mound at Hochdorf, a few kilometres North of Stuttgart was the archaeological sensation of the year. It was a very rich grave of about 550 BC and contained grave goods one had not dreamed of before. Besides that, the preservation of organic material was exceptional. The metal objects partly came from the Mediterranean, other parts were locally repaired or made. The bronze cauldron is sensational in its size and detail, the bed / couch is very rich and these are just some of the objects.

In the early 1970s, the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier excavated at the “Altburg” near Bundenbach. This was the site of a Iron Age defended settlement between 170 BC and 50 BC in the West Celtic area. In the mid 1980s, a part of this settlement, including its manmade fortifications, was reconstructed and opened for the public in 1988. The museum is meant to convey tourists a picture of the circumstances of living in a time over 2000 years ago. Therefore they can inform themselves about weapons, tools or manufactures of that time.
