Ancient Trackway in Austria
The ancient road over the Hochtor mountain pass was used in iron age times, over roman times to medieval. Archeologists found evidences of slave transportation like chains and other artifacts. In a small museum at the modern "Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse" you can find information about the ancient road and some replica of the artifacts they found here.
