A holiday region with plenty of culture for your bed & breakfast and apartment holiday in South Tyrol
A beautiful landscape with a varied flora and fauna, that’s the South Tyrolean Eisack valley that spans from
south of the Brenner mountain to Bolzano. The magic of the Eisack valley lies in diversity: experience culture in the
Fugger town of Sterzing, the
city of Brixen and the
little medieval town of Klausen.
Take a walking holiday in the Eisack valley and admire the beautiful landscape that surrounds it: the bizarre rock formations of the Dolomites and the glacier-covered
three thousand metre summits of the Ziller valley and the Stubai valley. Enjoy the green Alpine meadows and picturesque villages, scattered
mountain farms, chestnut groves, terraced vineyards and blooming apple orchards. Get to know the special charm of the region in autumn during the so-called Törggelen dinners, because in the traditional atmosphere of an old farmhouse parlour, the new wine “Nuie” and the peasant cuisine will be particularly delicious. The Eisack valley is a very varied valley, offering its visitors plenty of
nature, culture and authenticity.
