Taschen: Hiking Trails, Roman Burial Mound and Viewpoint

Travelers can explore Taschen via named trails, tours and historical landmarks. The routes pass through Taschen or start there, and point to places including the Roman burial mound, Semriach, Tanneben and the Lurgrotte. For your planning, it helps to consider the information about each trail separately: a stated walking time, a route length and a sequence of places describe different things.

Roman Burial Mound and Historical Landmarks

A route from Taschen leads to the Roman burial mound on Krienzer-Kogl. The Roman barrow was discovered in 1962 and restored in situ on Krienzer-Kogl. Taschen is designated as a viewpoint in the Semriach hiking area. The ruins of Luginsland are also still visible in the vicinity of the Tasche crossing.

Street names also provide specific directions. Am Kogl Street runs north around Krienzerkogel and joins Taschenstraße by the Untertaucherkreuz in the Markterviertel district. The Roman burial mound can be reached from Taschen via Taschenstraße. This gives you both a named street and a specific route to the Roman burial mound for your planning.

Distinguishing Hiking Trails from Tours

Marked Trail 756 reaches Taschen from Deutschfeistritz-Peggau and then continues north on Trail 11. The marked hiking trail from the Roman burial mound to Semriach starts in Taschen and follows Trail 11. The hiking route from the Roman burial mound to Semriach runs from the Wegmacherhaus bus stop to the Semriach Hauptplatz bus stop.

Route 12 follows Trail 756 via Taschen and the Taschen farms to Tanneben and the Lurgrotte. It is 5.9 km long. The route therefore specifies a sequence of places and a specific distance. When planning, you can consider these details together without treating the route sequence as a walking time.

Hiking Tour 05, “Semriach and Surroundings,” passes through Taschen to the Roman burial mound; a walking time of 1:45 hours is stated for the tour. Tour 739 runs from Draxlerkogel via Taschen to Semriach. Their respective names and stated routes help distinguish these tours from Route 12. The 5.9 km for Route 12 is a distance, while 1:45 hours is the stated walking time for Tour 05. These details therefore answer different questions when you plan your schedule.

Bus Stop and Travel Planning

GUSTmobil stop 1460 is located on Taschen in Semriach. If you want to include this stop in your journey, check the appropriate current connection in advance. The Wegmacherhaus and Semriach Hauptplatz stops are also named as the starting and ending points of the hiking route to Semriach. This lets you distinguish between a named stop and the endpoints of the hiking route when planning.

If you are looking for a hotel in Taschen, the focus of your planned routes can help you choose a location. Consider whether the Roman burial mound, Semriach, or the route toward Tanneben and the Lurgrotte is most relevant to your stay. The specific route details give you different points of reference: Trail 11 continues north, Route 12 is connected with Tanneben and the Lurgrotte, and Tour 739 passes through Taschen to Semriach. This lets you plan your trip around the destinations you actually want to include.
