1. South Tyrolean Folklore Museum
Overall Ratings
5 based on 208 reviews
Il museo etnografico illustra la vita della società rurale di un tempo – dalla nobiltà al bracciantato. Nel centro si trova l'imponente residenza barocca Mair am Hof con le sale padronali e le collezioni etnografiche. Nel fabbricato rustico del Mair am Hof sono esposti numerosi attrezzi e veicoli d'agricoltura. Nell'area all'aperto si accostano i masi originali dei contadini, costruzioni ad uso artigianale, orti agricoli e animali domestici in un percorso che ripercorre le tappe principali della quotidianità di un mondo ormai passato.

From the old farm houses and mills of South Tyrol to the traditional music instruments, pharmacists, churches, cow bells and much, much more this indoor/outdoor museum has everything the south Tyrolean times gone by offered.
The museum (€6 adult entry ticket) has an extremely interesting and eclectic mix of south Tyrolean history all under one roof.
The museum starts of with about 30 outdoor buildings; from old farm houses, mill houses, animal pens, church etc with the odd rabbit, sheep and pig roaming around it gives you a sense of the farming community and how they lived from around the 17th century.
You then move into a huge two building museum that really houses everything and anything you could think of; old horse carts, musical instruments, a church, library, medicine, clothes, cheese house, doctors and cow bells. The two buildings really give you a historic sense of how the people of South Tyrol got by in the past. I found it just fascinating and unfortunately we only had one hour to spend.
I would highly recommend this museum which is about 10 minutes by car from Brunico. In July and August it closes at 18:00 and other months 17:00. Parking, toilets and cafe is all there. You need more than two hours. Enjoy.

Kronplatz is skiing industry. There are dozens of gondolas, chairlifts, many leading to the rounded top. There you will meet mess of buildings (upper stations, restaurant), an “Indian village” with tents, huge bell and small museum. Admire view around and choose a way down the slopes from your choice. You have long and short, easy and difficult slopes. Best side of Kronplatz is that you can usually use the slopes in bad weather (except wind). For Christmas and for late February it is overcrowded. Some skiing teachers exaggerate to lead up to ten children down the black lines. Best side of Kronplatz are unknown workers who, during the night and early morning prepare all the skiing slopes perfectly. They have some troubles with soft snow in the lower parts. Children and older people can skip the late afternoon skiing in the lower areas from late February to April. You have many possibilities to rest in alpine huts, on all the slopes. Some guests exaggerate with drinking and some checking would be helpful. Skiing is faster than some visitors think.

The route to the earth pyramids is not touristic. It cannot be reached by car, one has to deserve it.
A path from the parkin place takes you upwards throught the forest untill you reach a kind of plateau. Here you enter the another forest and a few minutes later you arrive at this fascinating site of sandstone pillars.
It's a quiet place off the beaten track, ideal when you plan to do a smaller hike with a target

Si tratta dalla bella collezione di elmi dei Vigili del Fuoco di Franz Mairhofer presso l'Hotel Burgfrieden. Una raccolta magnifica nel cuore di un raro Panorama altotesino. Oltretutto, si ha la comodità d'averla nello stesso albergo quindi pratica da visitare!

Unsere gesamte Familie (2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder, 10 und 12) gönnte sich Flüge mit Lukas uns Kevin. Es war das ultimative Ferienerlebnis und jeden Cent wert.
Das Team ist hochprofessionell, freundlich, gut organisiert und sehr sympathisch.

Reviewed By Aussies11 - Montelparo, Italy
This is a herb farm and distillery located in upper Perca, amongst gentle hills and green fields, and a not too challenging road to get there. The house itself is we understand the largest one in the area built with actual tree trunks, and this gives it a very attractive facade. Inside visitors will find a tasting table of the herbal liqueurs (usually made from one herb, although some are blends of herbs) and many herbal products made from herbs grown on the site. The young owner is very knowledgeable and gives advice about the herbs and how to use them. One of the rooms inside is like a fairy shop with beautiful decorations related to the moon, sun and various other folk stories. Children would love it.
Outside visitors can walk near the uncontaminated herb Gardens which is very nice when it is sunny. If you are looking for gifts to take home, there are plenty here to choose from.

Una delle chiese più antiche del sud Tirolo, sembianze romaniche esterne, mentre internamente ha subito parecchie trasformazioni
Bella anche nel contesto di dove sorge.

War cemetery with tombs of soldiers fallen mostly during WWI (nearly 800) with a few from WWII (about 19). All part of the austro-hungarian empire, it is interesting to note the different religions all came from: catholics, protestants, orthodoxs, calvinisits and even muslim and jewish people.

Photos ops everywhere; charming location; clean fresh air; friendly citizens. Good shopping too! Be sure to pay attention to the pedestrian crossing lines on the road as there seems to be a tendency to just start crossing leaving very little time for the driver to see them and stop.
