Become part of the Vinschgau cultural experience
Where ancient heritage shapes everyday life
Scenery meets culture. History in the Upper Vinschgau can be felt through excursions, events, sights and traditions. The sunken tower in Reschensee lake is strikingly unforgettable. No less fascinating are the archaeological finds on the legendary Tartscher Bühel.
Castles, monasteries and churches with frescoes and artworks from over 10 centuries tell of the region’s lasting importance. Celts, Romans and Raetians like the Venosts, as well as early Christian culture, all left their marks.
The historic little town of Glurns, the ancient Roman road Via Claudia Augusta and the centuries-old irrigation systems on the Malser Haide are treasures from long ago that remain alive today. True to its rich cultural heritage, the Upper Vinschgau has also become known as a valley of artists.
Strolling through the markets, you can feel the vibrant soul of the region: At the Georgimarkt in spring and the Gollimarkt in autumn, crafts, farm products and Vinschgau culture can be experienced with all senses. A time-out in the tripoint region is sure to become a captivating cultural holiday: authentic, diverse and always close to people and nature.
