Archäologisches Zentrum Hitzacker

In the north-east of Lower Saxony, where the Jeetzel and Elbe rivers meet, lies the town of Hitzacker (Elbe). Archaeologists discovered traces of a prehistoric settlement here back in 1969. The settlement existed for over 1,300 years (from the Neolithic Age to the Bronze Age).

Today, the site is home to the open-air archaeological museum, which opened its doors in 1990. Embedded in a natural park area, there are five buildings and many stations on the life, work and beliefs of the early settlers on an original scale. At the Hitzacker Archaeological Center, you can experience with all your senses what everyday life may have been like at that time, whether you are young or old.

Diverse activity programs such as dugout canoe excursions, jewelry like in the Bronze Age, brains instead of power and much more. - can be combined with overnight stays in one of the longhouses - allow you to immerse yourself in the life and work of people 4,000 years ago.
