    Natural monument "Säulenfichte"
    Pfalzen/Falzes, Dolomites Region Kronplatz/Plan de Corones

    The protected hanging spruce is a very rare and botanically interesting natural monument and stands at the foot of an embankment next to the road between Hofern/Corti and Issing/Issengo near Mühlen/Molini, below the bridge over the Grünbach/rio verde.

    There, a unique post spruce, also called a garland spruce, rises from the young growth. While the terminal shoot grows upright, the approx. 30 cm long side branches hang vertically and are slightly twisted downward. The tree, which is about 115 years old (in 2021), reaches a height of 25 m (1991) and has a circumference of 34 cm (1991). The hanging spruce is difficult to classify in the many columnar and hanging forms known so far. In any case, it is the narrowest spruce form ever found in South Tyrol and far beyond.

    La Crusc/Santa Croce
    Badia, Dolomites Region Alta Badia

    The small highland area La Crusc/Santa Croce, located at the foot of the magnificent Santa Croce mountain, has always had a special place in the heart of the people of Val Badia.

    A story that started many hundreds of years ago
    Many centuries ago, when Alta Badia was still largely uninhabited, La Crusc (Holy Cross) seems to have been a pagan place of worship. It was probably the unfavourable living conditions of the area that led the first Christians to construct a sanctuary here.

    Around 1010 the monks built a chapel at La Crusc where a small church was erected in the 15th century. At the end of the 17th century the church was deconsecrated by the then Austrian Emperor and was subsequently left to decay. Pilgrims and valley dwellers rescued the little church by partially rebuilding it, and some years later in the middle of the 18th century it was enlarged and embellished with a bell tower.

    For a long time, the origins of La Crusc as a place of pilgrimage were dated back to 1511, on the basis of documents from the period. Two parchements emerged, however, and pointed to an even earlier existence. The first mentioned a church consecration; the second contained the story of “Morellus de Caninis” who made a pilgrimage to Rome in 1500 in order to seek favours for the La Crusc church.


    Numerous relics are preserved in the altar of the church, such as those of St Leonard (to whom the parish church of San Leonardo/Badia is dedicated), St Hippolitus, St Virgilius (Bishop of Salzburg), St Mary Magdalena, St Agnes and St Barbara.

    Nowadays there are several processions to the church during the summer season, and there is an important service on the first Sunday in June.

    The legends surrounding the church

    The building of the church
    Many, many centuries ago, the inhabitants of Badia had planned to build a chapel on the “Col d’Anvi”. During the construction work however the workers kept injuring themselves on the wooden shavings. White birds collected the blood-spattered shavings and took them to the foot of the La Crusc/Santa Croce mountain. After a while the workers began to notice this and they followed the birds in order to find out where they were flying to with the shavings. Once they had arrived at the wonderful spot at the foot of the mighty Sas dla Crusc/Santa Croce, they were so impressed that they decided to build the church there.

    The legend surrounding Ottwin, Count of Lurn
    People in Badia like to relate how there used to be a hermit who lived at the foot of the Sas dla Crusc/Santa Croce. This hermit was no less a person than Ottwin, Count of Lurn and Pustrissa, or possibly his son Volkold, the founder of the Sonnenburg Monastery at the entrance of the Val Badia Valley. The legend tells how Ottwin had fallen into heresy during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Upon his return to his homeland in South Tyrol, he was unable to overcome the feelings of guilt over his lapse. He therefore decided to live as a hermit in a log hut under the crags of the Kreuzkofel and devote his life to prayer and penance.

    The Monument to St. John Nepomuk in the New Town
    Sterzing/Vipiteno, Sterzing/Vipiteno and environs

    Following repeated floods, a monument in honour of St. John Nepomuk (1350-1393) was erected in 1739 in Sterzing / Vipiteno. He is venerated as the protector of waters and bridges and is invoked when there is danger of flood. According to the legend, St. John Nepomuk, who came from the Bohemian town of Pomuk, refused to reveal the confessional secrets of the Bohemian queen. The king ordered him to be drowned in the Moldavian river. For this reason he is venerated as the protector of waters and bridges and is invoked when there is danger of flood.

    Luis Trenker Memorial
    Urtijëi/Ortisei, Dolomites Region Val Gardena

    The monument is located along the path named after him. It is dedicated to "Bera Luis", the famous local actor, director, writer and passionate mountaineer who successfully conveyed his love for the mountains to his vast audience.

    Luis Trenker was born in Ortisei on October 4th 1892, and died in Bolzano on April 12th 1990, at the age of 97. He was buried in the family tomb in the cemetery of Ortisei.
    During his school days he worked as a mountain guide and ski instructor. He studied architecture in Vienna and Graz and opened an architectural office in Bolzano, which he had to close shortly after because his degree was not recognized in Italy.
    For this he worked as an artist and lived in Berlin from 1927 to 1940.

    His first contact with film came in 1921, when he was hired as a mountain guide for the film "Berg des Schicksals" (Mountain of Destiny). When the director realized that the lead actor was unable to climb, Trenker took on the lead role. Other films followed in quick succession, initially as an actor, then also as director and screenwriter. Not only mountain films, but also adventure films, comedies, thrillers, and historical films.
    In addition to his films, Luis Trenker also published a number of novels, articles and accounts of his experiences.
    In the last years of his life, Trenker also fought for environmental protection and nature conservation.

    The most known films:
    Struggle for the Matterhorn (1928)
    Mountains on fire (1931)
    The Rebel (1932)
    The prodigal son (1934)
    The mountain calls (1938)
    Monte Miracolo (1943)

    Rosengarten
    Welschnofen/Nova Levante, Dolomites Region Eggental

    The Rosengarten/Catinaccio massif in the Dolomites – UNESCO World Heritage Site – is known for the many legends and mystery that surround its peaks. Indeed, even today the Catinaccio mountain seems to bloom at sunset, as if by magic: it is said in the legend that many years ago, there was a garden full of roses (rose garden = Rosengarten) of the dwarf King Laurin. One day, while fighting knights, King Laurin used his magic cap which made him invisible. However, the knights could tell from the movement of the roses where the dwarf king was hiding. Very angry about this, King Laurin put a curse on the rose garden that had betrayed him. He decided that neither by day nor by night anyone should ever see his rose garden again. However, he forgot the twilight and so today you can still admire the magical alpenglow (Enrosadira) at sunrise and sunset which colours the mountain in and red.

    At the Catinaccio there are countless hiking trails of different levels to be explored: the Masarè path to the Christomannos Monument, the Rosengarten circular route and much more. The Catinaccio massif also invites adventurous climbers to explore the via ferrata and the climbing routes.

    The "Prader Sand"
    Prad am Stilfser Joch/Prato allo Stelvio, Vinschgau/Val Venosta

    The Alluvial Terrain beneath the Stelvio


    The Prader Sand biotope is a flooded area along the Solda river, with its unique vegetation and is one of the few remaining swamps in South Tyrol. The Solda river once flowed unchecked across the Valley causing flooding and following its containment, the wetlands became considerably reduced. What remains of the former great expanse, is known as the Prader Sand.

    Three different walking and hiking trails lead through this protected natural area of sand and swamp all the way to the fishermen’s lake and are also suitable for prams.

    Monument Hans der Sager
    Latsch/Laces, Vinschgau/Val Venosta

    "Hans der Sager" is probably the only documented minnesinger or troubador of the Venosta Valley, who thought up the words and also the tunes for most of the songs he performed himself (sagen=to say, singen=to sing, Sänger=Singer). He resided many times at the court of the counts of Annenberg, who appear to have been his promoters and patrons. Hans der Sager was mentioned in documents six times between 1326 and 1338. In the castle of Laces (Laetsch) he once acted as witness to a purchase of a "farmstead with garden". On this occasion Hans der Sager expressly described himself as a resident of Laces. Hans der Sager also had a son known by the name of Ulrich von Hagenach.

    The King’s Vantage Point in the Laranz forest
    Kastelruth/Castelrotto, Dolomites Region Seiser Alm

    The Laranz Forest between Seis and Telfen is the quintessence of a mysterious fairytale forest: The trail through the forest is a gift of peace, strength and inner contemplation. Settlements had already been established on this hilly knoll in the days of Ötzi the Ice Man, and to this day we can still see the Wallburg fortresses of Gschlier and the pre-Christian sacrificial site at the Rungger Egg. The leisurely loop route leads through dappled pine forests to the Königswarte (the "King's Keep"), a spectacular lookout point. Shortly before the Lanzin farms the trail branches off into another loop route, which will take you to a further lookout point, the Katzenlochbühl.

    A natural monument - the dripstone spring in the Burgum valley
    Pfitsch/Val di Vizze, Sterzing/Vipiteno and environs

    Along the stream near the hamlet of "Burgum" you can hear the whisper of one of the most beautiful natural monuments in the region. When the sunlight shines on it, uncountable cascades of a filigree waterfall shine in numerous beautiful colours. Between the cascades a dark olive-green moss grows, saturated with crystal clear and fresh water. It is tough to decide from which angle you have the best view of the waterfall. A few years ago, this spring waterfall was placed under conservation and is now a natural monument that should not be missed. Take the chance and come to rest and dream in this magical place. This natural monument can be found in the wooded Burgum valley on the way to the hut “Sterzinger Hütte” on path nr. 2.

    Earth pyramids of Steinegg|Collepietra
    Karneid/Cornedo all'Isarco, Dolomites Region Eggental
    The impressive formations of Steinegg|Collepietra are a true natural wonder and tell a story that goes back thousands of years. Their formation dates back to the last ice age: when the glaciers melted, they left behind huge quantities of moraine material - a mixture of clay, sand and stones. Over the millennia, rain has eroded this material, but in some places it has formed clay cones with protective stones on top. These ‘hats’ protect the cones of earth underneath from erosion, giving the earth pyramids their unique shape.

    Their slender formations, often crowned by imposing boulders, rise up from the valley floor and seem almost unreal - as if from another world.
    A hike to the earth pyramids takes you through picturesque forests and meadows and even through a gorge. Whether you are hiking alone or with your family, this place is both fascinating and inspiring.

    The best time to explore the earth pyramids is in the early morning or late afternoon, when the light brings out the bizarre shapes in a particularly impressive way.

    23 Sägemühle
    Prad am Stilfser Joch/Prato allo Stelvio, Vinschgau/Val Venosta

    Die „Sågmühl“

     

    Dieser ehemalige Mühle- Sägebetrieb mit dazugehörigem Grundbesitz von ca. 1,5 ha begegnet uns urkundlich am 11. Juli 1421. Unter den Lehengütern des Bertold von Tschengls die Herzog Friedrich IV dem Wilhelm und den Gebrüdern Heinrich und Wilhelm von Lichtenstain verleiht, wird neben der halben Feste zu Tschengls, der Turm zu Tschars, drei Äcker bei der Feste, die Bergmähder der Höfe Vorburg und Hinterburg, die Frischach zu Prad, das Tal Sulden mit genannten Rechten, auch die Säge zu Prad genannt. In der Folge wird das feudale Lehen des Sägebetriebes von Prad bei der Belehnung durch Erzherzog Sigmund von Österreich-Tirol an Heinrich von Liechtenstein und seinen Vettern Georg, Bartholomeus und Balthasar von Liechtenstein am 1. März 1450 als Erbe des Sigmund des Tschengelser, erneut erwähnt. Die wohl Prads älteste Säge, sicherlich aus dem 14. Jahrhundert, war stets damit beschäftigt das Triftholz aus den grundherrschaftlichen Wäldern jener von Tschengls bzw. Lichtenstainer aus dem Suldental, zweckbedingt zu verarbeiten. Um 1694, als außer dem Säge- auch von einem Mühlenbetrieb die Rede ist, besitzt laut Steuerkataster Thomas Stieger dieses mit einem Haus, Sag, Mill, Stampf und Wasserfuer ausgestattete Anwesen. Am 16. Februar 1724 erwirbt Peter Veith – Müllermeister die Mühle von Luzia Stieger und wird damit Leheninhaber des grundherrschaftlichen Besitzes von Franz Carl von Lichtenstain Freiherr zu Castlkorn und Khrumpach, Herrns zu Schenna Karnneidt und Tschenglsburg. Zurzeit S.M. Kaiserin Maria Theresia hat Anton Theiner die „Muesmihl mit ein gang, Stampf und sag am Lavadbach“ als hochgräflich Fuxisches Grundgut in Lehen. Damals bestand dieses Anwesen aus : ain Behausung, Stadl, Stallung, ain Stuben, ain Khuchl, zwo Khämmer, an dieser Behausung ist ain mueßmihl gerechtikheit, mit ainen Gang, auch ain stampf und ain sag, zu unterist des Dorfs Prad gelegen, die sagmihl genanth.

    Im Jahre 1857 ist die Untermihl, wie sie auch genannte wurde, dann Eigentum des Brugger Joseph, ihm folgte Ludwig Platzer. Wunderer Alois Jg.1873, Vater des letzten Müllers, tauschte 1920 sein Heimatanwesen, die  Bauparzelle Nr. 29, gegen die „Sagmühle“ von Kaspar Wallnöfer (Ragitz-Kaspr). In den 1930-er Jahren werden beide Wasserräder durch einen Turbineneinsatz abgelöst. Während das Sägewerk 1938 seinen Betrieb einstellte, florierte das Mühlenhandwerk, sodass die alte Mühle nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, durch Hermann Wunderer (Jg.1911) einem vierstöckigen Kunstmühlenneubau weichen musste. Heute gehört der noch intakte, jedoch seit ein paar Jahren vor dem Tod des letzten Sagmüllers (+ 28.06.1993) stillstehende Betrieb, Dr. Georg Wunderer. An der Westfassade des von Alois Wunderer, bzw. dem Maurermeister Georg Stecher 1921 ausgebauten Wohnhauses befindet sich oberhalb der Haustüre noch ein original Gemälde aus dem Jahre 1657, es zeigt Sanct Senanus als Müller.

    Located at the foot of King Ortles, the church of the three Holy Wells in Trafoi tells a special story: In the 13th century, the shepherd Moritz saw three little streams break from the rocks in the spot where the chapel now stands. Each of the streams carried a cross. The shepherd was able to grab two of them, but the third was washed away. When the little church was erected in the 15th century, the site became a place of pilgrimage and the healing powers of the holy wells are still spoken of today.

    A limepit is a stonewalled hole in which limestone used to be or is slaked. Limestones were quarried in the Dolomite valleys, where they were first burned in lime kilns an then transported to the construction sites where limpits had been dug. The burnt limestones were placed in the prepared pit and covered with water. As a result, their volume increased significantly while the temperature rose inside the limepit, and slaked lime was formed.

    7 Geschichtsträchtiges Vöstl-Haus
    Prad am Stilfser Joch/Prato allo Stelvio, Vinschgau/Val Venosta

    Das „Vöstl-Haus“ –  Bp. 28 – Hauptstraße 58

               

    Laut Urkunde vom 14. September 1480 (Archiv Churburg) bekennt Carleth Mullner von Prad vor der landesfürstlichen Pflegschaft des Vogtes Gaudenz von Matsch bzw. in Vertretung seiner Abwesenheit vor dessen Vater, Vogt Ulrich von Matsch, dass er einen Garten auf den [Prader] Sand eingefangen (eingefriedet, urbar gemacht) habe und bittet diesbezüglich um schriftliche Bestätigung. Die Gerichtsherrschaft äußert sich lobend über Mullners Arbeit an “Infang” und Wasserwehrbau und verleiht ihm den genannten Garten als Zinslehen zu ewigem Erb- und Baurecht. Lehenträger Mullner, bzw. seine Erben, können den Besitz, mit Ausnahme an nicht- Herrschafts- noch Gotteshausleuten, nach vorheriger Anbietung an seinen Lehensherrn, veräußern an wen sie wollen und reichen jährlich um St. Jakobi ihrem Pfleger oder Amtmann im „Turn“ zu Mals zwei Schnitthühner und Kornsteuer. In der Folgezeit entstand dann der heutige Einhof auf eben diesem Grund und zinste selbst noch zurzeit Kaiserin Maria Theresias die gleichen Abgaben. Das geschichtsträchtige Haus mit Ökonomiegebäuden am östlichen Dorfeingang ist um 1775 ein landesfürstliches Lehen“ und wird vom Junggesellen Johannes Veith, der eine Wirtschaft betreibt,  bewohnt. Das mit der Nr.24 bezeichnete Wohnhaus war damals mit drei Stuben, zwei Küchen, sieben „Kammern“, zwei Keller und einem „Getraid Gaden“ (Getreidespeicher) ausgerüstet und unterlag dem „Pflegurbar“ (Gericht Glurns) unter anderem jährlich mit zwei „Schnitthühner“ an Grundzins.  In der Nachfolgezeit unterlag das Anwesen einem ständigen Besitzerwechsel und wurde  noch im letzten Jh. von vier Parteien bewohnt. An dieser Stelle sei darauf hingewiesen, dass das Haus im 20. Jahrhundert unter anderem vor allem von zwei „Brunner-Familien“ bewohnt wurde und so den Vulgoname „Vöstl“ von deren Vorfahren Silvester Brunner erhielt. Nicht unerwähnt bleiben darf in diesem Zusammenhang der Künstlersohn Joseph Brunner der dem Ehepaar Maria Aloisia Mayr und dem Schustermeister Kaspar Brunner in diesem Haus am 8. Februar 1924 geboren wurde. Jul B. Laner schreibt 1983 über den Künstler: Mit sehenden Augen ertastet der Joseph kristallenen Marmor, führt den Meisel so kunstvoll, dass sich ergötzet der Blick. -  Die  bedarfsbedingten Um- und Zubauten prägen vor allem das Nord seitig angebaute Wirtschaftsgebäude während sich solche am Haus selbst in Grenzen hielten. In der faschistischen Ära der 1930er- Jahre soll durch einen Willkürakt eine nicht wieder auffindbare Marmorplatte - vermutlich mit österr. Wappenbild – inmitten der Südfassade, unterhalb des Dachgiebels, entwendet worden sein. Im Übrigen ist die Süd- und Westfassade mit Dekorationsmalerei und Inschrift an der Südseite: >Dorothea Sprengerin sein Hausfrau 1749, ausgestattet. An der Südostfassade befindet sich indessen ein völlig verblasstes Fresko mit St. Georg und einem Ritterheiliger, zudem führt an der Ostseite eine gemauerte Freitreppe durch eine Rundbogentür zum tonnengewölbten Hausgang ins 1.

Seit 01.06.1981 steht der an Bau-, Siedlungs- und Familiengeschichte so reiche Gebäudekomplex am östlichen Dorfeingang, von wo aus bis 1825 die Dorfzufahrt nach Altspondinig führte, unter Denkmalschutz und harrt auf Restaurierung. Zurzeit wird der ausgedehnte Gebäudekomplex nur mehr von einer einzigen Person, dem Alois Brunner – Organist i. R. bewohnt und aufopferungsvoll betreut.
