Bodendenkmal in Eching (Landkreis Landshut), #D-2-7538-0067 stands in Eching (Landkreis Landshut), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The site known as the Turmhügel Thal marks the remains of a medieval motte, now vanished, south of the hamlet of Thal in the municipality of Eching. What survives is an earthen plateau roughly 10 by 13 metres, bounded by a steep embankment several metres high. This is a place for those drawn to archaeological terrain rather than standing architecture, as no structure remains above ground.

What to know

  • No building remains on site: only the raised earthen plateau still marks the former motte.
  • The site lies roughly 1000 metres south of the parish church of St. Veit in Thal.
  • About 250 metres to the northeast stands another fortification, the Abschnittsbefestigung Thal, which can be combined into the same outing.
  • Access is outdoors over natural sloping ground, with no known visitor facilities.
  • There are no opening hours or fees, as this is an open-air site freely accessible on foot.
