The oldest frescoes in the German-speaking region of Europe, remains of historic settlements, places where people of many faiths have worshipped over the centuries, castles and stately homes, the place where Ötzi, the more than 5,000 year old glacier mummy was found, traditional fairy-tales and myths and … much more!
Plenty of history and culture, guided visits to countless places of interest, little old churches and chapels, historic castles, fascinating museums and all you want to know about local customs and traditions.
Imagine the feeling as you take the last couple of steps up the worn stone stairs of an imposing old castle surrounded by gentle, rolling countryside with orchards and vineyards set against a magnificent backdrop of dark woods, green meadows and gentle pastureland! A glimpse back into history, into the times of our ancestors, a step upwards towards the mountains and the sky beyond!
A "Step towards Heaven" is, in fact, the title chosen for one of our "Alpine Roads of the Romanesque Era" projects, an idea of experts from South Tyrol, Graubünden in Switzerland and the Italian Trentino region. A "Step towards Heaven" takes us back to the Middle Ages in this particular area which is full of interesting, exciting remains and sights from the Romanesque times.
We hope you'll join us on our fascinating trip back through history as we visit the splendid cultural jewels of Naturno and the surrounding countryside.
