Description

The only archaeology trail in the Ennstal was opened in 2000 and is run by members of ANISA on a voluntary basis. It is a cultural highlight from the late Roman period. The visitor can follow a tour of a late Roman retreat settlement. Signposts and explanatory panels tell about life almost 2,000 years ago.
