Tyrol – a Land of Culture! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
In the Upper Vinschgau, you can enjoy culture
that is second to none!
Discover the famous Carolingian frescoes in St. Benedict’s,
Marienberg Abbey, the Fürstenburg, the nearby medieval
town of Glurns, the Vinschger Museum and the Churburg in Schluderns,
with its famous armory. |

|
| |
|
| |
|

|
| |
The Churburg in Schluderns will appeal to your whole family.
If you take the Vinschger railway to Schluderns, even your
ride to the castle will be a great adventure in its own right! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
But if you would prefer to enjoy culture right outside your
front door, we would suggest taking a short walk to St. Nicholas’
Chapel or to Benedictine Marienberg Abbey above Burgeis, with
its Baroque church, crypt and well-preserved 12th-century frescoes. |

Also worth a visit and of great historical interest are the
Grauner Tower in Reschensee and the smallest town in South Tyrol,
Glurns, with its fully preserved medieval town walls. |

A litter further away, proudly enthroned above the entrance
to the Schnalstal Valley, is Schloss Juval. It is now the home
of famous mountaineer, Reinhold Messner. Part of the castle
is open to the public, housing an exhibition of masks which
Messner collected while on his world-wide travels. |

A little further to the south, a visit to the botanical gardens
of Schloss Trauttmansdorff is a definite must for every botany
lover. Gardens from around the world are brought together here
in a single garden! |
