Sarojasattel border pass (FL/A)
Alpine area and border pass (FL/A) on the northern foothills of the Dreischwestern massif. Between the Plankner Alp Gafadura and the Alp Sarjoa on the east side of the ridge (municipality of Frastanz, Vorarlberg, 1477 m above sea level) lies the Sarojasattel, which extends to Planken, Eschen and Frastanz, at 1628–1650 m above sea level.
First mentioned in 1319 (Soloyen) as a border point of a land peace area decreed by Duke Leopold of Austria. According to the Montfort-Feldkircher Urbar (1363), Walsers paid a monetary interest to "Sologen" (Saroja), which is interpreted as an indication of settlement in the area that lasted until the middle of the 15th century. In 1416, the Alp Saroja, which at the time belonged to Uli Vogt, came into the possession of the municipality of Frastanz through exchange. The Plankners secured a right of way over Saroja to their Alp Garselli. The Brandisische Urbar (around 1510) counts the Alp Saroja - although it belongs to the municipality of Frastanz - as part of the Alps of the County of Vaduz; until 1858, Saroja had to pay the bird milking fee to the Liechtenstein sovereign.
Despite the steepness and inaccessibility of the terrain, the Sarojasattel (passage Schaan-Planken-Amerlügen-Frastanz) had a certain military significance, and in the Middle Ages, as a connection between the County of Vaduz and the County of Sonnenberg, it may also have been of commercial importance. In the Swabian War of 1499, Uli Mariss von Schaan is said to have led 2000 Swiss confederates over this pass into the flank of the Austrian army, thereby enabling them to win the Battle of Frastanz (April 20, 1499). In the Coalition Wars in 1799, imperial troops fled from the French to Saroja and built a 300 m long defensive structure (trenches) in the northern part of the saddle (Frastanzeregg). Saroja was always important for smuggling and escape.
