Guided afternoon hike with Klaus Demar. Meeting point: Train stop Lichtenstern. Duration: 3-4 hours, pure walking time: 2 hours. Difficulty: middle. Price: € 15, free with RittenCard. Language: German & Italian. We meet us at 2.20 p.m. at the Lichtenstern/Station (2.06 p.m. train from Oberbozen/ Klobenstein). In Lichtenstern we learn about the 117-year-old Ritten Railway. From here we climb to the Waldneregg prehistoric cult site. We follow the path near the mythical "Menhir" to Lake Wolfsgruben. Along the Eschenbach stream, which drained the lake, the "Seemüller" had rights to use the irrigation water and the water power for their mills, sawmills and a forge. We look at the old buildings (from the outside) and descend to the beautifully situated Unterinn. On a tour of the village, we visit the parish church - the original parish of Ritten - which is well worth seeing, before taking the bus to Klobenstein, where our hike ends. Registration required!

Twenty years ago, a group of wild actors met at Carambolage with a crazy idea: to create the first improvisational theater company in South Tyrol and dive into this adventure without a safety net. Since then, we’ve invented stories, failed spectacularly, celebrated, laughed until we cried, and even cried for real – yes, because there have also been some tough moments. But all of this has helped us grow. And with us, the best audience in the world has grown – you! Because without you, there is no show! So, now it's time to celebrate: let’s count together all the smile lines we've accumulated in these 20 years and toast to them! Bring something for our birthday chest: emotional memories, junk, absurd kitsch… we’ll use them to kick off the next twenty years of improvised madness! P.S. After the show, stay for a sweet surprise

"I need a place where I can be alone with a forest nearby..." Letter of Freud to Jung (February 1911). And how did this link between the ideal place for Bolzano residents to go for a bit of 'Sommerfrische', or summer cool, and the genius tourist Sigmund Freud come about? In a letter dating February 1911, he reveals to Carl Gustav Jung «Next summer. I need a place where I can be alone with a forest nearby». So, before Easter, on Friday, the 14th of April, he leaves Vienna in the company of his friend and pupil Sandor Ferenczi and makes a quick tour lasting just six days to find a suitable place around Trento and Bolzano. He returns to Vienna the following Thursday and his research produces excellent results in the form of Ritten/Renon near Bolzano. Consequently, on the 9th of July, Freud sets off from Karlsbad, where he was staying to recover from a bout of 'American colitis', and joins his family at Klobenstein. This is where the Freuds celebrate their silver wedding anniversary, on 14th September - the enjoyment of their holiday thus being enhanced by love and affection. During his holiday at Ritten/Renon begun Freud to write the work? Totem and taboo

How is a “unique sound” created? And what sounds – today – are good? Jazz musicians – unlike those in European art music – have their own sound, and expression is always more important than just beautiful tone. The Südtirol Jazzfestival Alto Adige, under the artistic direction of Stefan Festini Cucco, Max von Pretz, and Roberto Tubaro, will explore not only the new and innovative sound worlds of contemporary European jazz this summer, but will also enable the creative development of these sounds through interesting acoustic locations across the region. In many unusual resonance spaces, individual sounds will be generated – and live-modified during the concerts. The musical explorations will begin on the opening night of the Südtirol Jazzfestival Alto Adige on June 27. The Amsterdam-based Brainteaser Orchestra, which was awarded the German Jazz Prize in 2021 for its debut album, will perform in various locations within the NOI Techpark in Bolzano. Further sound experiments will follow: French flautist Delphine Joussein will hold a solo concert in a spacious hall at the Bolzano trade fair, and guitarist Reinier Baas will travel nearly a kilometer into the former Prettau mine in the Ahrntal by mine train, before unpacking his guitar in the Klimastollen to give another solo concert. The "sound of nature" will be integrated into contemporary jazz above ground. Finnish drummer Tatu Rönkko and the saxophonist Damian Dalla Torre, who grew up in Sterzing, will host a sound workshop in the old Pforzheimer Hütte and in the alpine border area between the Val Venosta and Switzerland. The festival will also offer two other sound excursions to the Juac Hut and the Mont de Sëura Alm in the Dolomites of Val Gardena. Over 50 concerts will take place from June 27 to July 6 in many different locations across South Tyrol. Concert venues include the Bunker H in Fagen Street in Bolzano, the Franzensfeste Fortress, the Roner Distillery in Termeno, the Ost West Club in Merano, the exhibition halls of the Antonio Dalle Nogare Foundation in Bolzano, the Poschhausstollen in Ridnaun, the Bozen Filmclub, the Harpf beverage store in Brunico, the Stanglerhof in Fie allo Sciliar, the Rittner Horn, the town square in Sterzing, as well as the Waaghaus and the park of Hotel Laurin in Bolzano. New this year are – in addition to the Prettau mine – the Hotel Pragser Wildsee, the former prison "Tschumpus" in Brixen, and the Pünthof in Algund. At the Sudwerk of the Batzenhäusl in Bolzano, in addition to the late-night concerts, the "Kabarila" concert performance will take place for the third time: a five-hour jazz ritual where the audience can either dance or simply listen and enjoy the music.
