Enrosadira is the Ladin name given to the phenomenon when the Rosengarten massif gleams in reddish hues as evening draws in. According to legend it was the dwarf King Laurin who caused his roses to shine in the twilight. South Tyrol contains lots of places shrouded in legend that are worth visiting on foot.

South Tyrol’s fifth season is known as TÜrggelen, when in autumn the new wine is tasted and served with chestnuts (Keschtn in South Tyrol) and local dishes in the farmhouse inns.
Apple strudel is an absolute classic of South Tyrolean cuisine. Usually made with shortcrust pastry, it tastes best in an Alpine hut along with a glass of good local wine. So many strudels are produced each year in South Tyrol that, if they were laid end to end, they would reach from Bolzano to Merano.

By Bike through South Tyrol Which are South Tyrol’s finest cycle tours? It all depends. This region has it all – the Mediterranean charm of the valleys, steep mountain passes, magnificent peaks and gentle high-Alpine pastures. The valley cycle paths are ideal for families: the southern aspect shows the Alps at their gentlest and their upper reaches often provide spectacular views. On top, from the Val Venosta/Vinschgau mountains to the Dolomite regions, there are countless lengthy trails where mountain bikers can find their flow, whilst many of the passes are household names for racing cyclists. Why? Because there is scarcely anything finer than standing on the top after a tough ascent, enjoying views that are second to none.
Etschtal Cycle Path, surrounded by cypresses, apples, wine and peaks – ideal for relaxing trips with the whole family.

Recipe for South Tyrolean Zelten cake Ingredients 200 ml water, 20 g yeast, 2 tbsp sugar, 150 g flour, 100 g rye flour, 15 g salt, 1 tbsp oil, 1 tsp each of aniseed and caraway, 500 g figs, dried and cut into cubes or strips, 250 g raisins, 120 g each of sultanas, mixed nuts, pine nuts, almonds, 50 g each of candied lemon peel and candied orange peel, 50 ml white wine, 3 tsp rum, 70 g honey, 1/2 tsp each of grated lemon peel, orange peel and cinnamon, 1 pinch each of powdered cloves, allspice and nutmeg, nuts, almonds (shelled), candied cherries as decoration, honey or sugar syrup to glaze
Preparation Mix the yeast and sugar with the lukewarm water, then let rise for about 10 minutes. Add the flour, rye flour, salt, oil, anise and cumin and knead to a dough in a mixer. Let stand covered at 35°C for 30 minutes for the dough to rise. Marinate the figs, raisins, sultanas, nuts, pine nuts, almonds, candied lemon peel and candied orange peel in the white wine, rum and honey for at least one hour so the Zelten acquires a good aroma. Add the lemon and orange peel, cinnamon, powdered cloves, allspice and nutmeg to the marinated fruit mixture. Mix the dough with the marinated fruits and nuts using the mixer and knead it well. Form round or oblong shapes with the mixture and decorate with nuts and almonds. Place on a baking tray and allow to rise for about 20 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for about 40 minutes until the cake takes on a fine brown colour, brushing repeatedly with honey or sugar syrup. After cooling, decorate with candied cherries and wrap in plastic film.

Eating and Drinking South Tyrol is world famous for its wine, smoked ham and apples – and rightly so. On closer inspection, however, South Tyrol’s cuisine turns out to be much more varied. Down-to-earth farmhouse cooking, seasoned with Mediterranean charm, are the ingredients for the distinctive taste. Southern influences are clear when it comes to eating and drinking, whether it’s enjoying a sociable aperitif, mouthwatering antipasti, handmade pasta variations or the inevitable Caffè to round off the meal. Spinach dumplings and apple strudel are classics of South Tyrolean cuisine, and in recent years these have been sensitively complemented with innovations and international influences.

After a gruelling day’s haymaking 130 and more years ago, peasants would sleep the night on layers of hay and wake the next morning feeling refreshed and full of energy. Scientific studies now show that hay baths help with osteoarthritis, sciatica and rheumatism.
Growing in the acidic soils of South Tyrol’s Sarntal valley, the mountain pine can be used as a skin care product in the sauna or as a pesto in the kitchen. The oil, with its characteristic resinous and forest-fresh scent, stimulates the circulation, nourishes the skin and also has an odour-eliminating effect.
The Empress Sissi was convinced of the beneficial effects of whey and you can now enjoy a Sissi bath at the Therme Meran spa. In South Tyrol the milk used comes from humanely kept animals, which are often able to enjoy the especially herb-rich hay up on the Alpine pastures.
An apple bath has revitalising and purifying effects and stimulates the circulation. Apples keep you fit and are particularly efficient as an anti-aging product, relaxing the skin and muscles to produce a delicate skin, while also containing lots of valuable ingredients.
A South Tyrolean Weinbadl begins with a body exfoliation using wine marc followed by a brief rest. The bather is then wrapped in a linen sheet before being immersed in a tub of hot water, whilst enjoying a glass of red wine, and then emerging for a massage with grape seed oil.

Stoanerne Mandln The Stoanerne Mandln are a collection of centuries-old stone figures located in the Sarntal valley at 2,000 metres above sea level. Many myths and legends surround this place which, according to tradition, was the setting for witches’ covens and devil worship in the Middle Ages. The Stoanerne Mandln are easy to reach on foot all year round. At the summit the stone formations and captivating atmosphere are complemented by the wonderful 360-degree panorama.

The Museion in Bolzano – architectural jewel, focal point of modern and contemporary art and meeting place for the arts scene.
Culture and Architecture Would you rather discover the traces of history or see the future taking shape? In South Tyrol you can do both. Witnesses of the past which are worth seeing include Ötzi the Iceman whose mummified remains were found in a glacier, and 800 medieval forts and castles, as well as monasteries and sacred structures with impressive elements of different artistic eras. And interactive museums, churches with a contemporary design and other pioneering works of architecture all have their finger on the pulse. But above all it is the culture that is lived every day which is particularly exciting in the northernmost part of Italy, where the question is repeatedly asked: What’s German and what’s Italian?
EXPERIENCE SOUTH TYROL 39
Museums and Worlds of Adventure The Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano/Bozen offers the unique opportunity to have a look at Ötzi the Iceman. Throughout South Tyrol there is a rich and varied array of museums with child-friendly worlds of adventure, impressive open-air museums and visitor mines, as well as interesting exhibitions and sensitively designed meetings places to find out about the world of mountains.
Museum Ladin Ladin is still a living language in the Dolomite valleys of Alta Badia and Val Gardena. The Museum Ladin addresses the history and culture of Ladinia and its people who have succeeded in preserving their own cultural identity and passing on their ancient heritage from generation to generation.

The reproduction of Ötzi the Iceman can be seen in the Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano.

Churches and Monasteries South Tyrol’s sacred buildings, from small mountain chapels to impressive monasteries, are distinguished by their loving attention to detail. Val Venosta/Vinschgau is South Tyrol’s leading centre of Romanesque mural art, with particularly beautiful and wellpreserved frescoes. Sacred buildings were built in the last century which demonstrate an exciting contemporary style.
Notable pilgrimage sites can be found up to a height of 2,300 metres. Pictured: the Santa Croce Church in Alta Badia.
Monastic Life and Places to Pause and Reflect MARIENBERG MONASTERY In Europe’s highest Benedictine Abbey, monks have lived according to the rules of St Benedict for over 800 years. Today exhibition rooms in the monastery offer an insight into their everyday life and the monastic routine. Of particular interest is the crypt with its bright frescoes, a unique example of Romanesque art.
SILENTIUM, CARTHUSIAN HERITAGE “Once it was the noise that disturbed people. Nowadays it’s the silence.” This and similar quotations line the Via monachorum hiking trail to the monastery village of Certosa/Karthaus. There, in the former Allerengelberg Monastery, you can watch a film that recounts its turbulent history. If you then go on to the village of Certosa you will recognise the building – and note the striking silence.

Forts and Castles Over 800 forts, castles and stately residences perch on rocky ledges, surrounded by vineyards or towering high above the towns. They attest to South Tyrol’s strategically important position as a trading land and north-south connection. Today in a number of these forts and castles the age of chivalry once more comes alive - particularly exciting for children. Some also house museums and collections, whilst others are run as castle hotels and restaurants.
Trauttmansdorff Castle near Merano is surrounded by more than 80 landscaped gardens and is home to the Touriseum, the interactive Museum for the History of Tourism.
Tyrol Castle In the Middle Ages Tyrol Castle (Schloss Tirol) was the ancestral home of the Counts of Tyrol. Today it houses the South Tyrol Museum of Culture and History. The curtain wall around the castle, built around 1100, is one of the oldest surviving castle walls. In addition to the State Museum, archaeological finds and interactive exhibitions, there is also a centre for birds of prey that regularly offers falconry shows.

Small cities and charming places South Tyrol’s urban centres have a charming character. Many want three things from a city visit: A relaxing shopping experience in the pedestrian zone, a cappuccino or aperitif in a place steeped in history, and the opportunity to sample local specialities. The best way to experience local flair is during an inspiring stroll through the city. Best of all, nature is often just steps (or in some cases a cable-car journey) away.

3 1. Bolzano/Bozen The unique location of South Tyrol's capital city, situated dramatically between vineyards and orchards with Dolomite peaks like the Rosengarten and Schlern massifs in view, is sure to delight visitors who won’t fail to be impressed by the Alpine-Mediterranean character that pervails. We invite you to explore unique attractions such as the Ötzi museum and to experience the contrast between the old town, villas and primarily Italian quarters.
4 2. Merano/Meran Climatically blessed and protected by the imposing peaks of the Texelgruppe range, Merano/Meran, the second largest city in South Tyrol, has a flair of the Mediterranean. In addition to cultural highlights such as the Trauttmansdorff Castle with its magnificent gardens, the contrast between the modernity of the spas and the historical imperial architecture of Merano/Meran is especially intriguing.
5 3. Bressanone/Brixen Cobble-stone squares, narrow medieval alleys and magnificent attractions are emblematic of the rich history of Bressanone/ Brixen and its rich history as part of the bishop’s seat. Feel and experience how the past comes alive and witness the mix of modernity and Mediterranean flair during a walk through this picturesque city.
4. Vipiteno/Sterzing The exciting townscape of Vipiteno/Sterzing, with its historic pedestrian zone and venerable buildings, bears witness to a rich history as a centre of commerce. On a shopping spree that extends past the Torre delle Dodici/ Zwölferturm, those hungry for action can transition from the shopping street to the Rosskopf recreational mountain in just minutes thanks to the cable car.
5. Brunico/Bruneck The urge to be active, to participate in the rich cultural scene and numerous possibilities for sport, is palpable in Brunico/ Bruneck, Val Pusteria/Pustertal valley’s main village. Located on a hilltop, the Castello di Brunico castle overlooks the city, which has been awarded for its quality of life. Take in the attractions while wandering through the handsome shopping street or enjoying a cappuccino in the sun at the Piazza Municipio/ Rathausplatz square.

Architecture Innovation and historical roots, as well as design and practicality, are factors characteristic of South Tyrol’s Architecture. In addition to numerous churches, monasteries and castles, a new architectural movement is taking hold in South Tyrol. This trend pays homage to the region’s cultural heritage yet remains open to contemporary forms. Locally sourced materials are of central importance. So too is the unobtrusive integration of buildings into the surrounding landscape.
Architectural sculptures lend the Timmelsjoch Pass a fresh new look.
The MMM Corones will surprise visitors with unforeseen views of an impressive landscape.

MMM Corones, Plan de Corones/Kronplatz The Messner Mountain Museum, which has been unobtrusively integrated into the landscape, features grand views of the Lienz Dolomites to the east, the Ortler mountain to the west, the Marmolada to the south and the Zillertal range to the north. Zaha Hadid’s world-famous architectural firm designed the museum. “Passmuseum,” Timmelsjoch ridge The “Timmelsjoch Experience” is comprised of five distinctive info stations designed by South Tyrolean architect Werner Tscholl. This cross-border project, which extends from the Passeiertal to the Ötztal valley, is truly one of a kind.

Martin Reichhalter Trail Warden of the South Tyrol Alpine Club “A must for me every year is to climb the Piz Duleda and Col dala Pieres in the Puez region. I always feel as if I’ve landed in a lunar landscape.”
Anna Quinz Creative Director of franzmagazine.com “I'm a bar person. For me, a bar is the centre of creative life. In Bolzano I love drinking a coffee in the Café Museion, in Humus, in Pur or in the garden of the Parkhotel Laurin.”
Manuel Astuto Head Chef at the Parkhotel Laurin “I love water. When I’m walking along the Talfer Promenade and can see the river and hear its sound, it clears my mind and I feel physically fit for my next shift in the kitchen.”

“I think that the Dolomites are a wonder of nature, with their steep walls and sharp ridges that seem to come out of nowhere and tower up into the sky. The Three Peaks are of course a special highlight.”
“I’ve been to Alois Lageder’s vineyard with numerous artists and visited his cellar there, as well as the Paradeis wine bar in Magrè. Everyone was always delighted and impressed by the philosophy of the place.”

Nadine Lantschner Seamstress “South Tyrolean fashion is booming. My favourites are great labels such as Rebello (Laives), Zilla (Bolzano), Luis Trenker (Bolzano) and Dimitri. I personally really like the Dimitri label because you can see the couturier’s Greek roots in his collection, and it reflects a certain lightness.”
Manfred A. Mayr Artist and Finder of Places “The place I always seek out is the Marienberg Monastery in the upper Vinschgau valley. As well as the little museum and the artistically and historically significant Romanesque crypt with its unique frescoes, you can also experience the Benedictine monastery’s mysticism and sense the monastic way of life, free of everyday stress.”
Jutta T. Ebner and Renate Gamper Herbal Teachers “The little Church of St Hippolyte above Lana is a magical place for us. There are traces of ancient settlements that contribute to its energy-charged atmosphere. You also have fantastic panoramic views of the Etschtal valley from up there. We like to come here and let nature waft around us.”
