Warmbad Archaeology Trail

The Warmbad Archaeology Trail opens up new insights for hikers and history enthusiasts along a beautiful six-kilometer-long path with 13 information boards in the Alpine-Adriatic languages and English about the historical settlement and former use of this area.

And here there is really exciting stuff to discover:

• The region around Warmbad Villach was already settled in the Bronze Age, as evidenced by burial mounds.
• What is today a European protected area and nature park was still an industrial area in the 19th century.
• The archaeology trail spans from the late antique hill settlement at Tscheltschnigkogel, via the Durezza shaft cave with the remains of 20,000 human bones, to the industrial use of the area with lime kilns, shot and brick factories.
