Messner Mountain Museum RIPA | Brunico

How to reach the Messner Mountain Museum RIPA

In this museum, Reinhold Messner deals with the final aspect of the conflict between man and the mountains; the heritage of the mountains and the people who have lived in them since time immemorial.

The fifth Messner Mountain Museum was opened in summer 2011 in Bruneck Castle by the well-known mountaineer Reinhold Messner. There are countless exhibits in everyday life. With the interactive “MMM Mountain Peoples” project, Reinhold Messner aims not to “exhibit” people, but rather to invite them to take part in an exchange of experience with the local rural population.

Every year guests from another mountain region will spend the summer in the Messner Mountain Peoples Museum and talk about their way of life, accompanied by everyday cultural exhibits belonging to different mountain regions and their inhabitants, including the Sherpas, Incas, Tibetans, and Mongolians.


Please check this website for detailed information on opening hours and prices.

Castle Tures | Campo Tures

How to reach Castle Tures

Castel Tures – “Burg Taufers” in German – perfectly fits the scenery in which it is located, as the high mountains of the valley serve as background. It rises on a natural elevation belonging to Acereto (Ahornach) in the municipality of Valle Aurina (Ahrntal) at 957 m a.s.l. In succession of a “Castel Tobl” in 1100 AD, the name of Castel Tures was mentioned for the first time in 1225. In the first half of the 14th century the Lords of Tures were in possession of the castle, but when the last member of the family died in 1349 the castle continually deteriorated.

The Romanic part of the castle – the donjon, the residential tower with double arched windows and the chapel – dates back to this time. Only under the Dukes of Austria, the castle was expanded in the 15th century – buildings such as the lavatorium, drawbridges and wall walks were added. Ludwig Lobmayr renovated the castle for the first time in the early 20th century. In 1945, however, Hieronymus Gassner provided for maintenance works.

Today the South Tyrolean Castle Institute, founded in 1963, is in possession of Castle Tures. For the most part the castle is open to the public. The furniture in the 64 rooms is near-completely intact and old tiled stoves heat the residential rooms. Pine panelling, frescos by Friedrich Pacher in the chapel, armoires dating back to different eras, armaments and a huge library provide a special insight into the history of the castle.

The little city of Brunico

The little city of Brunico-Bruneck is the geographical, cultural, and economic center of the Val Pusteria-Pustertal valley. With its numerous sights worth seeing, festivals, and top events, Brunico is the point of attraction for visitors of all ages.

Brunico is at an elevation of 835 m (2,740 ft.) above sea level, in the midst of a broad valley basin, surrounded by tall mountains: the medieval city is bordered on the north by the Valle Aurina-Ahrntal with its glaciers of the Zillertal Alps, and on the south by the Val Badia-Gadertal with its peaks of the Dolomites.

History:
The first mention of Bruneck in a document dates back to 1256. Around 1250, the bishop of Bressanone-Brixen, Count Bruno of Wullenstätten and Kirchberg, built a fortress on the Schlossberg hill, thus laying the cornerstone for the city that would then be historically documented in 1256. As the only city in the Val Pusteria, it soon became the economic center through lively trade, but it also subsequently developed into a cultural center.

Trade and industry blossomed in the city, but later it was above all else handicrafts which flourished. Today, Brunico has 16,000 inhabitants and an area of 5,000 hectares (19 square miles). The municipality of Brunico, along with the surrounding villages of Riscone-Reischach, S. Giorgio-St. Georgen, Stegona-Stegen, Villa S. Caterina-Aufhofen, Teodone-Dietenheim, Lunes-Luns, and Ameto-Amaten, offers vacationers some five thousand guest beds. On top of that, Brunico is the shopping center for the entire Val Pusteria, and today, the via Centrale-Stadtgasse is among the most beautiful shopping streets in all of South Tyrol-Südtirol.

Shopping:
cloudy skies are the perfect reason to slip into that shopping mood with a clear conscience. Brunico’s historical via Centrale-Stadtgasse is among the loveliest shopping streets in all of South Tyrol-Südtirol: colorful façades offer just the right scenery to the many shops. Countless shop windows juxtapose the youthful and trendy next to the traditional and venerable, the delicious next to the beautiful, the useful next to the luxurious.
Cafés put their homemade pastries on display in their cases and small bars serve canapés along with an aperitif – so that those who really can’t suffer shopping are pampered while it seems that their companions will never again return from all the strolling, looking, and trying.

Gastronomy:
What is served up is the down-to-earth, the creative, the innovative – the main thing is that it is cooked with passion and served in a fitting setting. And it is not just in downtown Brunico-Bruneck that gourmets will end up having too many choices. The pizzeria, the steakhouse, the traditional wood-paneled Tyrolean Stube, the gourmet restaurant – just stop anywhere for an aperitif and you can certainly get the right advice concerning into which culinary world the evening should lead.
