Historically very interesting is the Roman road of Mauternbach, even though it is difficult to commit due to their grooves and bumps, just because it was also covered with leaves during our visit. In these "driving comfort" of days gone by, hardly anyone can feel themselves in our latitudes, but at the sight of the lane one tries it!

"The Roman road at the southern end of Mauternbach is known to many hikers: Starting from the war memorial, its steep path leads up to the Unterbergern, probably leading from the Favianis / Mautern castle through the Dunkelsteiner forest to the western military outpost to Namare / Melk ,
An archaeological investigation commissioned by the Federal Monuments Office, in 2016 part of the road was uncovered, brought interesting findings: The route was not only beaten into the rock with great effort, but also shows conspicuous car marks. Probably dating back to Roman times, the road was in use until modern times. "
