Beyond Frohnleiten the valley of the Mur seems to be closed by high precipitous rocks through which the river has forced a passage. One of these rocks, called the Badelwancl , on the 1. bank, has been blasted and cut down so as to form a perpendicular wall of considerable elevation and leave a ledge sufficiently broad for the

rail way. On this ledge a curvilinear via duct or vaulted gallery has been con structed, supported on one side by the rock and on the other by massive stone piers with open arches. The railway passes through the viaduct, and the post-road over it, 1 Peggau Stat. (on the rt. bank of the Mur, opposite to the old post-town of Peggau).

Beyond this the Talley opens out, and a rich prospect of vineyards and cultivated fields of castles and villages, appears. On the rt bank of the Noce the following villages and castles are passed in suc cession :—Spor village and deserted castle on a rock; castles ot Belfort,. Bellasio, and la Corona, in a cave in the face of the rock, inaccessible on aU sides and long since

in ruins. Before reaching the village of Denno the new ' road to Fondo separates from that to Cles and crosses over to the 1. bank of the Noce. The ascent to Denno is steep ; it possesses a poor inn. Nearly opposite is the Castle of Thun ( Castei* t/mn), the most splendid edifice in the valley, situated on a steep eminence, and surrounded by woods and planta tions. It was founded 1194, and S the cradle of the family of Thun, one of the most noble and ancient in Tyrol. It contains a collection

A road up the rt. bank of the Kocher, running partly along a terrace built above the

stream against the side of the steep bank, leads to the village of Steinback y on a hill, above which rise the picturesque buildings of Kombvrg, formerly a Capuchin monastery, now a hospital for invalided soldiers. A covered way runs round its walls, from which are pleasing views of the sur rounding scenery . The ch. has 3 towers, for the most part in the round style (11th century), and some curious old architecture is to be found in the pre cinct. The body of the ch. is modern, but contains some

works of the 12th and 15th centuries. 4 hour further up the valley is the lofty hill of Einkorn, on which stood a pilgrimage ch., now burnt, and whence there is a fine and extensive view. It is a station for the fire-watch, and is also much frequented on holidays by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. An agreeable walk eg the 1, bank of the Kocher leads Komburg to Ilall. About 5 m.

d’ Argentière, lies through Borgo St. Dalmazio; whence a good road for a light carriage extends up the valley of the Stura as far as Venadio. Soon after passing the village of St. Martino the deep course of the Stura appears, and, across the river, rising abruptly on its left bank, amidst some bold rocky pre cipices, the village of Rocca Sparviera. The scenery here is very fine; the forms of the mountains, the magnitude of the chestnut-trees, and the luxuriant richness of the cultivated land, arrest the

attention. Soon after passing Rocca Sparviera the road descends in the valley, crosses the Stura, and con tinues on its left bank almost throughout the valley. About four, leagues from Borgo St. Dalmazio the traveller arrives at Démont, a town formerly remarkable for its fort, which guarded the valley of the Stura, and the communication with France by the Col d’Argentière. It had been memorable for its sieges in almost every war between France and Sardinia, until Piedmont became a part of France
