Artificial Mound in Hungary

Can be reached from road 54, opposite to Érsekhalma, opposite to road 54118. Wooden steps to the top.
One of the most important Bronze Age ‘Vatya culture’ earthen castles, located on a steep loess bank, with one of the biggest diameter of 125 m (115 m at present). The Vatya culture is an archaeological culture of the Early to Middle Bronze Age (ca. 200 - 1400 BC) located in the central area of the Danube basin in Hungary. It is characterized mainly by fortified settlements, cremation burial sites and bronze production.
This place was called Vawantschana Bearg by the local germans (haunted hill). When the light of the full Moon just reaches the hill, its gate can be opened only with the hollowed out eyes of a six year old child, so the unbelivable treausure can be seen and taken. But be careful. When the Moon light passes by, the gate closes again. As until now nobody has sacrified a child the gate has never opened. This tale was collected by Mária Schőn from Ferencné Mendler in 1919. In 1959 Ferenc Deli, the local teacher reported the place to the National Museum.
