Südtirol - South Tyrol - The magic of diversity
South Tyrol, on the sunny side of the Alps, offers uncountable attractions for visitors, sports-fans and gourmets: the Dolomites, the iceman Ötzi, futuristic ski areas, its award-winning wines, the exquisite hospitality of its hotels, and much more.
The venue
There where those coming from the north meet the first vineyards in sun-drenched South Tyrol you will find the charming episcopal see of Brixen in a wide valley at the confluence of the Eisack and Rienz Rivers.
This historical town, surrounded by the famous mountain landscapes of the Dolomites, is still a place of peace and quiet despite all the changes it has witnessed over the centuries. It is the ideal place to discover the Tyrolean way of life together with all its customs and traditions.
The old town center is full of avenues and parks which invite the visitor to relax and to idle the hours away. The town is surrounded all around by vineyards and orchards which yield a rich harvest in the autumn.
At every step the town teems with history - The town of Brixen with its ancient alleys and homes, pergolas and bridges, its churches and the Cathedral, the cloister with its unique gothic frescos and the marvelous episcopal castle, the diocesan and nativity museum, the small Pharmacy Museum, which shows more than 400 years of pharmaceutical history.
...Brixen is a true delight for people fond of art and culture!
