In the area of the “Mesenaten” on the Carinthian side. The word Mesenaten is of Slav origin and means something like “swampy”. A GOOD WALK 18 In pre-Christian times, traders and packhorse drivers crossed the Alps. The historic “Glockner route” led across the Hochtor however not all the men were voluntarily out and about. All the exhibitions along the Grossglockner High Alpine Road can be visited without any charges. One of them is called “Passheiligtum Hochtor” and is located exactly there: Directly at the south portal of the Hochtor-tunnel, which also marks the border between Salzburg and Carinthia. The exhibition gives special impressive glimpses in an age-old trade-route across the Alps, which at that time presented itself a lot more inhospitable. A bronze Roman figurine was found in the course of the road construction in 1933. It depicted Hercules, the most revered god of the trade and of the travellers. For many decades, the authenticity of the finding was questioned, till the middle of 1990s several excavations took place. Successfully: Approximately 200 Celtic and Roman coins as well as fragments of many other figurines were found. They clearly prove that here on above 2,500 metres above sea level there must have been a pass or mountain temple.
