Iron knife
A chance find from Roman times
A Roman knife made from iron was discovered by chance near Fischburg castle (Ciastel de Gherdëina in the Ladin language). The weapon or tool was probably lost in the forest. Gröden did not seem to be a particularly attractive area for the Romans, neither from a geographical point of view nor as a prospective settlement.
