By 1998, the time had come to share with the interested public at large the knowledge about the Schnals Valley that had been obtained up to that point through archaeological excavations and sondages.
At the archaeologically interesting points, the Schnals Cultural Association, in cooperation with the Pro Vita Alpina Ötztal of Austria, erected copper steles with information for hikers. The paths were marked with signs and included in all of the popular topographical maps of the region – Tabacco: sheets 43, 44, and 04 (1:25,000), Kompass: sheets 42. 43, 52, and 53 (1:50,000), and Freytag&Berndt: sheets S2 and S8 (1:50,000). Ötzi’s stylized copper axe serves as the symbol for the trail markings.
