Took a day trip to Brixen/Bressanone from Innsbruck, to get a quick taste of the Süd Tirol. Came upon the cloisters and frescoes by serendipity. A wonder to behold. Incredible that they have held up so well since the 14th/15th centuries.

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.

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.

Runkelstein Castle lies on a porphyr rock and overlooks the city of Bolzano. Its construction began in the year 1237 by order of the nobles Friedrich and Beral von Wangen. However, its moment of glory was the year 1385, when the castle was acquired by the bourgeois brothers Franz and Niklaus Vintler. Up to the present day Runkelstein Castle hosts the largest cycle of secular medieval frescoes.

The free shuttle bus from Piazza Walther whisks you straight here. 10 minute uphill walk from the car park and you're back in the 13th century ! Entrance is 8 euros but included with the Alto Adige/Sud Tirol Museumobil Card (also covers return train from Trento). Stunning inside and out with great descriptors of those famous medieval frescoes. The exhibition on Maximilian the First (until Jan'20) is outstanding. There's an original 'Weisskunig' novel on display plus 'The Book of Heroes'. Add, wonderful prints of this famous Habsburg, coinage showing just what a self image promoter he was and the famous Maximilian Armour. Brilliant curation ! Lovely coffee/snacks in the atmospheric courtyard and the great staff at the desk arranged the return shuttle. Perfect Saturday at Runkelstein.

Visit Prösels Castle and spend unforgettable hours in the historic courtyard, in the idyllic chapel, the cosy fireplace room, the splendid knight's hall, the private rooms of the Count? Leonhard von Völs and in the terrifying armoury. Prösels Castle, which is open from 1 May to 31 October, can also be hired for unforgettable celebrations (weddings, work anniversaries, birthdays).

I went to see the Christmas Markets and was amazed. This beautiful city was surrounded by snow peaked mountains. The flowing icy river meandered through the edge of town, with a gorgeous walking pathway alongside. The autumn leaves almost all dropped off but still left a bit of colour behind. The Christmas Markets were full of warmly clad locals and tourists. The mulled wine, wurst, hot pretzels, and cold meats etc filled many stomachs that day. Christmas decorations were a aplenty. I walked through the town, over the bridges and into churches. It was a never ending source of excitement. I loved this city..so much. Will definitely go back.

In case of bad weather when it is snowing, it is worth visiting the old town. The houses are interesting, visit the museum of prosciutto and a number of shops and try bombardino. Particularly worth seeing is a small shop with choice of shopping
9. South Tyrol Museum of Mining - Predoi

By mine railway into the mountain The heyday of the Prettau mine was in the Middle Ages, when the extraordinary malleability of Prettau copper was in great demand. The galleries, once driven inch by inch into the rock using only hand tools, are masterpieces of mining skill Even in the 20th century, Prettau was the third largest copper supplier in Italy. Today, a railway leads into the heart of the mine, while in the Climate gallery, where the air is so pure, people can once more breathe freely.
