This hand is the oldest bronze replica of a human body part known in Europe. The almost life sized hand was cast around 1450 BC and decorated with a golden bracelet. Together with a cloak pin, a hair spiral and a dagger, it was part of the grave goods accompanying a man aged between twenty-five and forty-five.

Log Text: Noble and magic atmosphere although it is a tumulus. Easy to find on safe forest paths. A fault line runs through the middle of the tumulus, direction SE/NW. No wonder did they build the tumulus here: they had a wide view as far as into the bernese alps!
