The house of archaeology
With a height of 772 m Mt. Kathreinkogel is not only a prominent
feature in the landscape of the community but also its most interesting
cultural site. We meet at the Gasthof Kreuzwirt and take the
hiking trail to get to the top. Walking along the trail you will learn a
lot about the history of the mountain. In the museum all the archaeological
finds from the 1980s are set on display. They date back to
the Neolithic as well as Bronze Age and the late antiquity.
On top of the mountain there are the remains of a 10,000 m² large
fortification with an early Christian church from the 4th century.
You can still admire the elevated presbytery, the floor pavement
and the two cisterns to the south-west that were used to catch and
store rainwater.
Information: During the summer months the museum is open daily
from 9am to 4 pm.
Necessary equipment: walking shoes
Attention: In case of rainy weather the museum is closed!
