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!

Unfortunately, this stone no longer has a representative place, so I'm just going to show you this detail. Arrows point to the two safe and one insecure cup-marks.

Bernisches Historisches Museum submitted by Megalithic89 on 16th Sep 2024. Site in Bern Switzerland.
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. The symbolic power of the hand and the noble metals indicate that the owner was a rich and powerful man in a royal or priesterly position. Found at Les Combette...

Log Text: A good place to start the visit is the Port of Magadino. There should be parking space. The Public Transport Stop is called "Magadino Casa Comunale". It takes half an hour for the walk upwards (distance 1 km), following the walking paths called "Sentiero Orgnana" and "Sentiero al Ragno". It is respectful when you do not visit when the grass is high in summer.
