18.1. Ice Rink Ritten
The Empor's Road
The Eisack gorge between Bozen and Kollmann was impassable until the late Middle Ages. The Rhaetians were the first to lay a track across the slopes of the Ritten mountain. The Romans had no alternative but to Lengmoos.jpgimprove the road across the Ritten, which they subsequently used for their military campaigns in northern Europe.

This in parts extremely arduous road attained its greatest significance in the High Middle Ages as the "Coronation Road of the German Kings”. German monarchs are supposed to have travelled along this road more than 60 times en route to and from Rome

They reached the highest point at the Ulrich-Pass at Lengmoos where a hospice run by the German Order of Knights was situated.
