    Hiking

    The Hornstaad pile-dwelling archaeological site, officially called Hornstaad-Hörnle, is located on the German shore of Lake Constance, in the Höri peninsula. It is part of the famous "Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps", inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2011.

    The site was discovered as early as 1856–1857 and gave its name to the "Hornstaad group", a regional Neolithic culture. Underwater and terrestrial excavations, mainly conducted between 1982 and 1993, revealed several villages built between approximately 3918 and 3902 BC.
