Hohler Stein

Highlight, historical buildings/places

"HOHLER STEIN"After the finding of the Iceman, Dr. Leitner of the University of Innsbruck made further investigations. He proved the existence of more Stone Age hunting bases in the Ötztal valley, e.g. at the Hohler Stein mountain in Niedertal/Vent which is at an altitude of 2,050m and only 10km (beeline) from the place where the Iceman was found. A wide range of archeological findings within this area prove the existence of early settlements in the Rofental Valley, dating back to 7600 B.C. Excavations and reconstructions presented by University of Innsbruck, Institute of Prehistory and Early History 1995-2003.
