Archeological Loop Trail - A Prehistoric Journey
Since the summer of 2002 archeological excavations are being made at the Gurgl Beilstein (2177m) on the initiative of Professor Gernot Patzelt, head of the Alpine Research Station in Obergurgl. Findings of silex, firestones and arrowheads, showed that this resting place was already used 1000 years ago by herders.
A new archeological loop trail up Beilstein (trail no. 9, 9a and 37) takes you on a prehistoric journey through time. Find traces of the past at the Gurgl mountain hut, or at the "Hollow Stone" above Vent, an ancient resting place of hunters and herdsmen. The Oetzidorf (Iceman Village) in Umhausen also provides a good insight into Alpine prehistory.
