In the Footsteps of the Romans through the Priental
On Friday, November 13, 2026, a fascinating archaeological tour through the Roman past of the Priental begins at the Priental Hall in Aschau im Chiemgau. Roman guide Martina Stoib takes participants on a roughly two-hour journey of discovery to historical traces, archaeological finds, and exciting stories from around 2,000 years ago.
Tangible Roman History
Aschau belonged to the province of Noricum during Roman times. On the tour, guests encounter a region where Romans and Celts lived together and which developed a special historical significance due to its location in the Priental. The tour combines local history, cultural heritage, and vivid archaeological insights into a lively discovery experience.
Silver Treasure, Escape Caves, and Surprising Finds
The focus is on spectacular discoveries from the region: Roman escape caves and the 2.7-kilogram silver treasure from Niederaschau make the past immediately tangible. Historical questions about clothing, daily life, trade, and the Germanic invasions in the 3rd century give the city tour an authentic and varied perspective.
A Tour with Regional Expertise
Martina Stoib leads the tour as a regional Roman guide through Aschau and conveys historical connections in an understandable, entertaining, and professionally grounded manner. The easy valley hike covers about three kilometers. The tour is recommended for interested individuals from school age. The number of participants is limited, and prior registration with the Catholic Educational Center Traunstein is required.
