South Tyrolean open-air museum. The outdoor area with the old farmhouses and workshops reflects the everyday life of the peasant population. The Mair am Hof residence shows the stately rooms of the landed gentry and the ethnographic collections.

Mining industry A unique monument to industrial revolution The Ridnaun site is a unique monument to the industrial revolution. Here, 150 years ago, a state-of-the-art ore processing plant was created, with huge machines to break and crush the rock and large flotation pools to convey the ores to the surface. Impressive braking inclines and horse tracks form part of what is the world’s largest above-ground conveyor, leading to the ore district high up in the mountains. The Poschhaus Gallery bores 6 km diagonally through the mountain into the Passeier Valley.

Meet here the world’s famous chalcolithic ice mummy called "Ötzi, the Iceman" who was found with all his belongings on the Similaun glacier in 1991. Situated in the city center of Bolzano (pedestrian area), the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology displays the oldest wet mummy in a sophisticated ice cell and shows Neolithic craftmanship in his equipment: the world’s most antique clothes and the hunting equipment with the world's oldest fully preserved copper axe.

The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology is centered on the iceman "Ötzi" that was discovered in the Alps some decades ago. The mummy itself is visible through a window, in the refrigerated cell where the 5000 year old man is kept. All artifacts found with the mummy are here too (clothings, shoes, hat, ax, pouch, knife, bow, quiver and arrows, baskets...) and very good explanations are provided in Italian, German and English of each item. Every artifact or any discovery about Ötzi are put into contest of the people life at that time, so the entire museum tells a fascinating history of 3400 years BC. You cannot take pictures of the mummy, but everything else can be photographed. At the end of the tour, you find a museum shop, with good books about Ötzi.

We thought a couple of hours would be needed to visit this museum but we're surprised at the quality of various exhibitions. Interesting mountaineering history information, the history of the building and surrounding area which was fascinating. Art installations and display items all within the beautiful castle. The building has been restored and blended with modern materials which are balanced to each other. The architectural design is fantastic and is very well throughout. So 5 hours later and after visiting the cafe, we can highly recommend this museum.

A must see when you visit Naturns. Opening hours are very limited, but worth pencilling in for a Thursday or Sunday. There is a lady that provides explanations on the frescos and history of the church.

We went with our two younger daughters to the museum. On the first floor it is a small landscape and a play area in the back. The second floor is all a large landscape of the Sud Turol area. The third floor was a special exhibition about winter and company trains. The exhibition is very nice, they have put a lot of details into the landscape and different scenes. There is lots to explore for the children. It is also somewhat interactive since you can start different scenarios with sound. We had a discount card from the hotel, but the family ticket was a better deal.

We could see this castle from our hotel at night so we decided to check it out. The road to the West of it, from Lagundo, was very fun and scenic on our motorcycle and we were able to park right at the front door although that may be very hard to do with a car. The castle has been partially restored and was done very well. It still feels and looks like it would have 100's of years ago. It's a self guided tour, which we prefer, with good signage and descriptions throughout the castle although some weren't available in English. Also, the views from the castle are amazing.
