Pre-historic Settlement on the Bartholomaeberg

The 3,500 year old castle settlement in Bartholomaeberg is located 250 meters above the Schruns basin at 940 meters above sea level in the Friaga Forest and is thought to be connected to the rich copper ore repositories on the Bartholomaeberg and in the Silbertal. An 80 meter long and almost 3 meter wide wall protected the small castle complex from the cliffs and the Platta meadow.
