What to expect
The Hemmaberg is a 842 m high mountain in the Karawanken range, located west of the town of Globasnitz in southern Carinthia, Austria. The mountain has a long history of settlement, with the first traces of human presence dating back to between 1500 and 1250 BC. In Roman times, a Celtic sanctuary was established on the mountain, and later, in the 5th and 6th centuries, a fortified settlement with several churches was built. Today, visitors can explore the remains of these ancient structures, including the Rosaliengrotte, a cave with a spring, and the Archäologisches Pilgermuseum Globasnitz, which exhibits finds from the archaeological excavations. The mountain is also home to a variety of flora and fauna, including Fichtenwald, Laubholzeinsprengungen, and Wiesen
