Archaeology

From the ice age to the future

In the storage galleries of the bunker, an exhibition area was set up, which presents a kind of journey through time in the Hinterpasseier: “From the ice age to the future”.

The formation of the characteristic landscape is explained by way of the climate changes since the last ice age, and archaeological findings from the region illustrate the settlement of the Passeiertal Valley, going back 10,000 years. Exhibits can be seen from all important eras of prehistoric times. Important discoveries during archaeological activities in recent years show that the settlement originating from high altitudes shifted into the valleys only gradually, and the passes and ridges were the connecting routes of the prehistoric age.
