Waldhof Tumulus
Waldhof Tumulus submitted by Megalithic89 : Small tumulus in Zürich Switzerland Photo taken 20/12/2022. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Artificial Mound in Zürich

Tumulus-like curved, elliptical stone bed with the dimensions approx. 5 x 3 x 0.7 m. The longitudinal axis of this presumed tomb lies roughly on the solstice azimuth 305 ° / 125 °. At the edge of the NW, firmly anchored in the stone bed, is a roof tile-shaped stele made of fine-grained conglomerate, visible part approx. 50 x 60 x 5 cm. The stele is undoubtedly man-made.

Take a walk from Hausen am Albis, Ebertswil or Kappel am Albis public transport stops or car parks. The territory is flat and the walking paths are large. You will enjoy the beautiful landscape.
