Millions of visitors, 112 special exhibitions and thousands of events, including lectures, matinees, workshops and museum nights. This is the balance of the South Tyrol Nature Museum since its opening on September 14, 1999 until today. On that Tuesday 25 years ago, the museum's permanent exhibition opened its doors.

The exhibition runs from next Saturday, September 14th to October 6th. On Friday, September 20th, the museum will also celebrate its 25th anniversary from 5 p.m. to midnight with live music, workshops for children, storytelling and short tours with stargazing in the inflatable planetarium.

The guided hike starts with an initial overview of the special features of the Bletterbach gorge at the Aldein visitor centre. A forest path then leads into the deep porphyry gorge made of volcanic rock. From there, the trail continues upstream to the colourful and shapely sandstone layers as the valley widens. Scientists have found valuable plant fossils and impressive dinosaur tracks in these layers - and with a bit of luck, the GEOPARC guide will be able to show the group some of the finds on the spot. The guides' explanations bring the landscapes, the climate and the inhabitants of the time when the rock layers of the Bletterbach were formed 260 million years ago to life. The hike leads to the large waterfall and then back a little way, where the steep Jagersteig trail from the gorge and a wide forest path lead back to the visitor centre.

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.

Short guided tour in German/Italian. Meeting point: at the church in Mittelberg. Duration: 20 minutes, Cost: € 2. The St. Nikolaus church in Mittelberg is first mentioned in 1289. This church was enlarged in the gothic style in 1400 and has kept its appearance from that time. The tower is somewhat later than the church and was probably built in the 14th Century. It is made of natural stones laid in regular patterns. Possibly in 1400 the upper levels were altered to the gothic style and the existing windows date from that period. In 1744 a rather large onion dome was added. It does not fit the building but is still quite pleasing. In 1976, during the restoration of the church and the tower, the Romanesque masonry was discovered. In this phase of restoration also came to light a large cycle of medieval frescoes that reproduce scenes of the passion of the Lord, the twelve apostles and prophets
