Short description: The Troja-Alpe is the lowest of the Alps in the Schöntal. The pasture is located on the first plateau at the very back of the Schöntal and is characterised by a large plain and some gentle ridges. All of these knolls provide excellent views of the surrounding area and are highly suitable for temporary campsites. On one of these ridges, several flint fragments and charcoal fragments have been found which are probably related to a prehistoric open-air camp site.

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