We will guide you to eight especially beautiful and powerful cultural places in our region, all of which are marked and numbered on the map. There is an appropriate clue for each place. You need to find a wooden template with a picture on it and then copy it into the correct space on your sheet. Once every location has been visited and all of the images found and correctly entered on the map, the map can be handed in to one of the tourist information offices in Hafling, Mölten or Jenesien. In addition to visit the best cultural spots on the Tschögglberg mountain ridge, you will be rewarded with a little surprise. Important: Don’t forget your pen!

The fossil museum is designed as an outdoor museum and is accessible to interested visitors at any time and explains itself by means of texts and audio stations. A guided tour for a group of the museum with one of our local experts is highly recommended. Booking is possible by means of direct requests to the tourist office: info@moelten.net It is now a long time – 260 million years – since trees resembling today’s araucaria grew in Mölten/Meltina. The ginkgos produced feathery leaves, while tree-high horsetails stood between the village of Mölten/Meltina and the Möltner Kaser hut. It is astonishing that clearly identifiable forms of these South Tyrolean primeval forests remain: trees fell into the riverbank or were carried along by the current, embedded in sand and finally transformed into fossils. They can now be seen in the Fossil Museum, which was revitalised in 2023 and designed as an outdoor exhibition. It shows the best of the finds from the area around Mölten/Meltina. Particularly noteworthy are the fossil tree and plant remains, some 260 million years old, as well as the footprints of a small reptile. What is special about the fossils in Mölten/Meltina? There are only three places in South Tyrol where plant fossils from the Late Permian have been recovered: the Bletterbach Gorge; Seceda; and Mölten/Meltina. The finds from Mölten/Meltina are the only ones that reveal entire trees. Details of their growth, their branches, roots and size are all clearly visible, which makes it possible to reconstruct entire forests. The Fossil Museum has a fully equipped multifunctional room that can be hired for events for up to 30 people.

Regia: Steffen Krones Documentario In tedesco e inglese con sottotitoli in tedesco Eine deutsche Bierflasche, angeschwemmt auf einer zu Fuß unerreichbaren Insel der Lofoten im Nordpolarmeer.

Leidenschaftlich verliebt in Norwegens schöne Landschaften, lässt dieses Thema den Filmemacher Steffen Krones auch zurück in seiner Heimatstadt Dresden nicht los. Sind die Flüsse Mitteleuropas mit dem Nordpolarmeer verbunden? Kann Müll tatsächlich so weit reisen? Seine persönliche Neugier entwickelt sich zu einem wissenschaftlichen Experiment.

Together with the Italian writer, by now familiar with Brixen, we will discover what led him to set this work right here in Brixen, where he had his marshal Gino Clemente move to, and how he drew on his own experience to mix components of the Agatha Christie-style detective story with elements typical of the comedy to which the writer has accustomed us. "Il cuore è uno zingaro” is a marvellous nostalgia operation because it plunges the reader into the 1980s: there is a lot of music from that time, also thanks to the return to Brixen of a singer who became famous precisely in those years for a single great success; the same singer who, in the book, is found dead and who triggers a meticulous investigation by Marshal Gino Clemente, transferred, against his will, from Polignano to Brixen, in which the lights and shadows of an apparently placid town come to light. Will you recognise yourself in Bianchini's Brixen? The event will also see the participation of the Plose Choir, which, appropriately mentioned by the author in the novel, will contribute to embellish the event. The interview will be conducted in Italian.

Domenico Grenci's painting admittedly addresses this kind of compositions. His productive corpus is made up of consolidated subjects of painting – flowers, portraits, surfaces and still lifes – very different from each other, distinct in their progression as almost autonomous series, but also profoundly related both in their expressive treatment and in the meaning they bring with them. Images of astral distance and tactile proximity, dreamy and crepuscular epiphanies that seem observed among the attenuating vapours of past time or of the distance that interposes between our eyes and the target to which they are directed, objects seen through frosted glass with an almost photographic quality, but with a heliographic, nineteenth-century type, flou, unstable, phantasmagorical…

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!

How much do we really know about our consumption and the waste that we often produce unknowingly? Where do packaging and plastic bottles go when they end up in the bin? Where are our broken smartphones taken when we replace them with new ones? And what is the true cost of our ever-full wardrobe and who pays for it? The exhibition provides background information on the throwaway society and highlights a series of significant events and places to encourage us to think consciously about our own consumption.

Walther von der Vogelweide, the most important of the German-speaking minnesingers, has left a deep mark not only on literature, but also on Lajen. Thus would Walther von der Vogelweide have probably received us, bidding us “willekomen” to his home of Lajen, which he left in the late 12th century in order to conquer the entire German-speaking world with his songs and poems. Walther was the star minnesinger, the one who knew how to entertain the ladies and gentlemen at court – up to and including numerous crowned heads. As a consummate professional, he knew exactly what his audience wanted to hear, whether it was poems about noble ladies and (not so noble) girls, or works with a more solid content: crown, church, crusades.
