Hiking

The new Heidengraben tower with 102 steps is located at the Hochholz car park, the highest point of the Heidengraben site. From the 18-meter-high viewing platform you can overlook the Heidengraben site, where the Celts once lived.
According to architect Thomas Ott, the triangular shape of the observation tower is dedicated to the three communities involved in the Heidengraben project: Hülben, Grabenstetten and Erkenbrechtsweiler

Hiking

The Heidegrabenturm, with its 18 meters height, is easy to conquer and offers a great view for the effort.

Hiking

The new tower offers a great panoramic view. The former hiking car park is now officially the car park of the Heidengrabenzentrum, a Celtic museum. Unfortunately, the day ticket for parking now costs €5. If you just want to climb the tower quickly, you should wait until 4 p.m. Parking is then free for the rest of the day. Otherwise, there are other free parking spaces in the area.
