Anyone who goes on vacation informs themselves in advance about the highlights of the area in order to not miss out on the best part.

In the in holiday area Ahrntal valley, the response to the question “What do I absolutely have to see there?” is not a difficult one, because in reality, the answer is omnipresent: the impressive landscape. Yes, the entire valley in and of itself is viewed as a sight worth seeing.

But history, art, and sacred attractions can all be experienced. At one place you can board mining carts and roll into a dark mineshaft at Prettau/Predoi, at another you can look over the shoulder of master woodcarvers as they chip and plane or marvel at minerals. There are museums which bring the past into today or show treasures from the depths, or churches and Taufers Castle in Sand in Taufers to visit which tell such an astonishing tale, bygone eras, and the people who lived here.
