St. Lorenzen

S. Lorenzo-St. Lorenzen is located at the entrance to the Val Badia-Gadertal valley and is renowned for its castles (Michelsburg castle and Castel Badia-Sonnenburg castle). The hamlets and outlying areas of St. Lorenzen are picturesque localities with a postcard character. As a result of its having been settled by the Romans, St. Lorenzen is an historically significant place. Excavation sites have brought numerous relics from Roman times to light, which are now housed in the Mansio Sebatum Museum. It is the first museum in South Tyrol that is dedicated to the age of the Romans.

Pfalzen

Falzes-Pfalzen lies northwest of Bruneck and is regarded as one of the five sunniest villages in the Pustertal valley. As a result of its ideal location oriented toward the south, it soaks up an especially high number of rays. Starting from Pfalzen and its outlying areas, it is possible to pick up the hiking routes of the Fundres-Pfunders mountains. In Issengo-Issing, a district of Pfalzen, is found the lovely Laghetto d’Issengo-Issinger Weiher pond with the adjacent tight rope course.
