A lovely place to spend time. It's a great place to entertain the whole family if you are here on holiday. Free excellent adventure playground for older youngsters, very good play areas for the younger ones. Ideal for a family wishing to spend time both in the hills and valley. Good picnic area.

A lovely part of the world to see with the Dolomite Mountains towering well above you just adding to the grandure of the place. Take the Valle di Casies trains to really get to see a lot of the sights at a very reasonable price.
Most of all don't rush - it is far too beautiful an area to do that.

We took our daughter and her friend the first time and nephew the second, we love going, there is a wide range of animals and a chance for children to feed some of them. All the animals have lots of space in beautiful surroundings. The entrance fee is very low considering you could spend half a day there. A great day out for every age group
6. Duomo di San Candido ''La Collegiata''

Every monument, beyond the values of art that it presents, can be better understood if the observer captures the logic of the whole.
About the Cathedral of San Candido / Innichen I think the best is to understand the following.
The mountain (so also the alpine mountain) is a region where wealth is more rarefied than the plains and the coast. This explains why even the past time's testimonies are less impressive: in the Mountains is easier to find small, romantic little churches, rather than cathedrals like this. And when at the heart of the Alps there are cathedrals, they are rather Baroque or Gothic than Romanesque, then of a more recent era, when the powers that dominate the mountain (the Habsburgs, the Dukes of Savoy ...) have accumulated more wealth. The entire Austria proves it, e.g. with its abbeys of medieval origin that often have been rebuilt in a Baroque style.
The San Candido Cathedral is an exception to this rule. The sources tell us that this exception is due to the presence of a very ancient abbey (VIII century) and then to the imperial power (Otto I of Saxony, X century) that favored the abbey together with the town; both are moreover located in one of the lower Alps' passes (Dobbiaco / Toblach), then on an easy transit route.
The result is this Romanesque church, featuring about the same size which usually in the same period is found (e.g.) in the prosperous cities of northern Italy. Here we find so simple but solid presence of the Romanesque naves, the octagonal lantern, the presbytery over a charming crypt, the carved entrance portal (although hidden by an atrium of the Gothic period).
A number of fine arts works adds charm to the church; among which the Crucifix, a Madonna and Saint John, massive wooden work of the thirteenth century, suspended above the presbytery.
In short, the church is worth a visit, not only for its artistic value, but also for what it reveals about the South Tyrol and the entire eastern Alps in the past.

Quando il bio non è una moda ma un credo, uno stile di vita, il risultato è questo! Le marmellate Alpe Pragas sono prodotte con amore e il risultato è un prodotto di altissima qualità : quando le provi, non cambi più. La frutta è tutta prodotta nella zona di Braies, ci sono anche delle limited edition con pere e mele di varietà rare, da frutteti di 30 alberi, ultimi rimasti. La marmellata top per me è la Winter Traum o Sogno d'Inverno ... solo il nome dice tutto. Ottimi anche i succhi e gli sciroppi. Lo show-room adiacente alla fabbrica è splendido e dotato di un bar per le degustazioni. Il proprietario Stefan Gruber vi accoglierà con il suo splendido Sorriso e vi consiglierà nella scelta con professionalità e gentilezza. Andateci e non vi pentirete !

Un esperienza di tipo particolare: Venite a trovarci e scendete nel Bunker Museum, una ex fortificazione sotterranea del periodo della Guerra Fredda (opera attiva fino al 1993) e scoprite questo luogo un tempo segretissimo. Mostre sulla storia del bunker, sulla prima guerra mondiale e storie di agenti e spionaggio completano la visita già di per se entusiasmante di questa misteriosa costruzione. Emozione e suspence sono assicurati!

We found this place by chance, noticing the ad on the highway since the owner at the moment is not publicizing it too much being still a work in progress. The pkace however is already fine and it doesn't need too much imagination to understand how it might have looked like back in the days of WW2 and Cold War (the fortification was active ubtil 1993). A very interesting place which helps understand recent and less recent history! Good for families and couples alike.

We were here for two reasons. Our 31 students were singing in San Michele but also Alta Pusteria was on and we returned for a march, singing and parading.
This is the most delightful piazza that is slow pace and somewhere in summer you can enjoy the mild weather, eat outdoors, go shopping and enjoy the scenic views.
I've included a few pics of the crowds when we all met, all 3,000+ of us in the main piazza. Being Australians, we were the first to lead off - what a priviledge amongst all those amazing choirists.

We get to the point to just contemplate the view, we got there and saw the Mountains at the end and start to walk a little, the imagine what could be behind the hill and start the 45 minutes walk to the 2nd shelter/restaurant, we ate the the best food of our 4 days in the region and return back. Really fast because we had a plane to catch in Treviso :). One of the must do, we took plenty of photos on the way of the beautiful meadows.
