Taschen: Roman Tomb, Hiking Trails and Viewpoint

Taschen is designated as a viewpoint in the Semriach hiking area and offers an interesting starting point for a trip where nature, trails and historic traces come together. From Taschen, a route leads to the Roman tomb, a Roman barrow discovered in 1962 and restored in situ on the Krienzer-Kogl. When choosing your accommodation, it is particularly useful to consider which route you would like to make the focus of your stay: the trail to Semriach, a tour via Taschen or the area around the Roman tomb.

On marked trails to the Roman tomb and Semriach

The marked and signposted hiking trail from the Roman tomb to Semriach begins in Taschen and follows Trail 11. The route runs from the Wegmacherhaus bus stop to the Semriach Hauptplatz bus stop. This allows you to plan your hike around clearly named starting and ending points. The 05 „Semriach and Surroundings“ hiking tour also runs via Taschen to the Roman tomb; a walking time of 1:45 hours is given for this tour.

Other trails open up different possibilities for planning your day. Marked Trail 756 reaches Taschen from Deutschfeistritz-Peggau and then continues northwards on Trail 11. From Trail 756, Route 12 leads via Taschen and the Taschen farms to Tanneben and the Lurgrotte; its length is 5.9 km. Tour 739 also leads from Draxlerkogel via Taschen to Semriach. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can use this information to first decide whether a hike to the Roman tomb, a connection to Semriach or a route with the Lurgrotte as its destination should shape their holiday.

Finding your way around the village and on the trails

There are several specific reference points for orientation in the Taschen area. The road „Am Kogl“ runs north around the Krienzerkogel and joins Taschenstraße at Untertaucherkreuz in the Markterviertel district. Access from Taschen to the Roman tomb is possible via Taschenstraße. GUSTmobil stop 1460 is located on Taschen in Semriach and provides an additional orientation point for visitors who want to carefully coordinate their arrival and hiking destinations.

The surrounding area also offers historical points of reference: The ruins of Luginsland are still visible in the immediate vicinity of the Tasche crossing. Three „Taschen farms“ are also identified in the Taschen area. Together with the Roman tomb, this creates a route through various named traces of the area, without requiring you to commit to a single tour.

Which accommodation suits your travel plans?

When looking for accommodation in Taschen, it is worth clarifying your preferred plans for the day before booking. If you would like to use the stated walking time for Tour 05 as a guide, the route to the Roman tomb becomes the focus. For other plans, Trail 756, Route 12 or the connection via Trail 11 to Semriach may be decisive. What matters is not a general classification of the location, but which of the routes described you would like to plan from your holiday destination. This keeps your choice of holiday apartment aligned with the specific experiences you want to discover in Taschen and the surrounding area.
