When you visit Rodenegg Castle, one of the largest and strongest fortified castles in the country awaits. You will be amazed, not just by its sublime and unique location, but also by the many rooms and cellars within the castle walls. The Iwein frescoes from the 13th century are the oldest secular wall paintings in the German-speaking world.
The MMM Corones, located on the summit plateau of Plan de Corones at 2,275 meters above sea level, is all about traditional alpinism, decisively shaped by Reinhold Messner. Here Alpine history is told, and the unique view of the great walls of the Dolomites and Alps is incorporated into the exhibition. On the edge of South Tyrol's greatest viewing platform, in Zaha Hadid's unmistakable museum building, the view crosses national borders at all four points of the compass.
One of the most beautiful and massive fortress of Tyrol is located in the Taufer Valley and is a real fairy-tale fortress. Especially exciting for children is the room of ghosts and the armoury chamber, where one is allowed to touch the exhibits, followed by a hike to the Reiner waterfalls.
In the small, genteel museum with an outdoor area, the creation of loden cloth is illustrated in an imaginative way, from the sheep to the end product, from the wool to the finished product. You will also learn interesting details about the history of the robust woolen material, which was once used as garments for shepherds and farmers and, soon thereafter, for princes and emperors. You get a glimpse into the Oberrauch-Zitt factory, whose fashion shop is right next door.
The Ridanna Mining World is a unique monument to the industrial revolution. A state-of-the-art ore processing plant was built here 150 years ago. Huge machines break and crush the rock, then large flotation basins bring the ores to the surface. Impressive inclined planes and horse-drawn tram routes form the world's largest surface conveyor system, to the ore district high in the mountains. The Poschhaus tunnel leads 6 km right through the mountain into the Passeier Valley. Closed in winter. Closed Mondays. Clothing: A warm jacket is needed.
