Walk into History
More than 2000 years ago, the Puster Valley came under Roman administration. Witnesses to the early history of the province of Noricum, which was part of the great Celtic kingdom, can still be found today on a pleasant circular hike in the district of Ehrenburg. One of the best-preserved milestones from Roman times is a roughly two-meter-high column made of quartz phyllite. The Roman stone was erected under the reign of the Roman Emperor Lucius Septimius Severus and shows the distance to the more easterly Roman city of Aguntum near Lienz in East Tyrol. Also worth seeing is the historic Ehrenburg castle complex, which was built in 1250. A special charm is also given by the beautiful wooden fences and the old dry-stone walls in Ehrenburg. Places to eat: Gasthof Obermair, Bistro Castel, Riverhotel Post.
