Short description: Coming from the Hirschbichl, where the most important Stone Age site in East Tyrol has been found so far, one reaches the Stallersattel, which leads to South Tyrol, across the pass called "Erlasboden". This crossing was already used in the Stone Age, as artefacts made of rock crystal and flint suggest.

Place of conservation of the finds: Municipality of Sillian/Kartitsch/Obertilliach/Untertilliach (not yet handed over)
