Attractions in Antholz and the surroundings

Totally tucked away at the end of the Valle Anterselva lies one of the most beautiful alpine lakes in the world. Surrounded by dark green forests, in the shadows of the Rieserferner peaks, the Lake Lago di Anterselva – the third-largest mountain lake in South Tyrol – slumbers. Further up, near the Austrian border, you’ll find the upper lake.

The Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park is a scenic jewel. Sparkling white glaciers, roaring waterfalls, dense mountain forests, and marvellous hiking trails. Nature shows off a totally different face here.

To the south of the Valle Anterselva lie the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Striking walls and high rock towers are some of the unusual limestone “figures.” The Three Peaks in the Höhlensteintal, Marmolada in Val Gardena, and many other mountains shouldn’t be missed during your holiday in South Tyrol.

Kronplatz is a wonderful hiking area for families. Just “float” up to the summit plateau in the modern gondola and enjoy the view. Experienced hikers will also get their money’s worth; Kronplatz offers clearly marked hiking trails of varying degrees of difficulty.

In the centre of the Puster Valley lies the picturesque town of Bruneck. Here, modern and medieval charms come together in harmony. The historic Bruneck “Stadtgasse” invites visitors to linger with its restaurants, cafes, and shops.

MMM Corones, situated on the summit plateau of Kronplatz (2,275 m), is dedicated to traditional mountaineering, which has strongly influenced – and been strongly influenced by – Reinhold Messner. The museum is devoted to mountain history and also offers unique views of the great mountain walls of the Dolomites and the Alps. At the edge of the most magnificent viewing platform in South Tyrol, in the distinctive museum building created by Zaha Hadid, the view goes beyond the borders of South Tyrol to all points of the compass: from the Lienz Dolomites in the east to the Ortler Alps in the west, from the Marmolada in the south to the Zillertal Alps in the north.

At Bruneck Castle, you’ll find Reinhold Messner’s fifth museum. Here, everything revolves around the topic of mountain peoples. You’ll see exhibits about the everyday cultures of various mountainous regions and the people who live there (e.g., Sherpas, Indians, Tibetans, Walser, Mongols, Hunza). The Messner Mountain Museum Ripa was opened in the summer of 2011 at Bruneck Castle.

The South Tyrolean Folklore Museum in Dietenheim near Bruneck was founded in 1976. On a sweeping three-hectare meadow belonging to the village, between 1977 and 1993, some two dozen old buildings were rebuilt, which would otherwise have been destroyed.

On the farm "Hauser" are cultivated different local handcrafted herbs. After harvesting the herbs, they are used to produce different oils, cosmetica, liquors and tees. The world of southtyrolean herbs and the stories behind them are waiting for you by the guided tours and tastings of the farm "Hauser".
