Ötzi - the Iceman.On 19 September 1991 a mummified corpse was found by chance in the ice of the Similaun glacier, on the way down from Fineilspitze peak (3,514m) to Tisenjoch saddleback (3,280m). The dead man carried a bow made from yew, a coated quiver filled with 14 arrows, instruments made of bone, arrowheads made from antlers of red deer and wrapped in bast, a flint knife with a flint blade, copper arrows and a back carrier. Yet we know that Ötzi was not the first to dare to cross the Alps. Archaeological discoveries near Vent prove that this region was the hunting ground for foragers in the Mesolithic period as early as 8,000 BC. Today the Iceman is exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Bolzano.Directions:From Vent (1.900 m) Niedertal to Similaunhütte (3.019 m - 4 ½ hours walking). The last half hour leads the Niederjoch glacier.From Similaunhütte runs along the ridge, a trail to the site (3.200 m-1 hour walk).Extras:Ankle-high hiking boots with grip soles, rain and sun protection, warm clothes.
A very beautiful but somewhat steep hike. Start in the direction of the Martin Busch Hut, then turn right at the first hill and pass through mountain pine forests to reach the Ochsenkopf. Past the Hohler Stein, a hunting base of Ötzi, the Iceman. From there, continue in switchbacks up to the Hörnle. At the summit, you’ll find a small summit cross and a stamping point for the Ötztal Hiking Badge. Enjoy a stunning view of Vent, the highest three-thousanders such as Wildspitze (3,768 m), Ramolkogel (3,427 m), Spiegelkogel (3,424 m), and many more, as well as the Stubai Alps.

"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.
