South Tyrol 5K - Italy, Alto Adige (Südtirol)

Austria and Italy fraternally share one of Europe’s most beautiful, exciting provinces, Tyrol. South Tyrol on the Italian side is one of the favorite destinations for hikers and nature lovers, regardless of the season. I collected the most exciting destinations and the most beautiful sights:

Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Three Peaks)
Lago di Braies
Taufers Castle
Piramidi di terra di Longomoso, Renon
Seceda
Chiesa di Santa Barbara
Cadini di Misurina
Chiesa di Santa Maddalena
Val di Funes

History of Tyrol:
Tyrol was part of Bavaria in the 12th century and then fell into the hands of the Habsburgs in the middle of the 14th century. The southern part was taken by Italy after the First World War and - with the exception of a small period during the Second World War - has remained Italian ever since. It has been an autonomous territory since 1972.

Due to the Italian-Austrian history, virtually every place has names in both Italian and German, and it can often change where which one is used. Because of this, you’ll find both versions of the names of each attraction, always with the Italian version first.
