The cathedral in the countryside

One of the most important sacred buildings in South Tyrol

The 86-metre-high church tower with its onion dome can be seen from afar. In past times, St. Pauls was the main town of the municipality of Eppan and countless nobles settled here. As a result, the parish grew to become one of the richest in all of South Tyrol, and to do justice to its size, it built the enormous church. Inside there are 9 bells, including the second largest bell in South Tyrol, cast in the Grassmayr bell foundry in Innsbruck. They call to mass in a dark, beautiful tone.

Calvary church

The impressive little church above

St. Michael | Eppan

The beautiful little church on the hill behind St. Michael | Eppan is the popular Calvary church. It was built from the middle of the 18th century and is the conclusion of the Passion of Christ. The decoration of the individual stations of Calvary, a place of devotion and pilgrimage to the Passion of Christ, took a great deal of time. It was not until the 19th century that the last figures were completed. The Calvary church is particularly impressive with its two domed towers, unique decorations and groined vaults, which are typical of the Renaissance period. A leisurely hike through the Passion Trail to this unique little church is almost a must. Once you have reached your destination, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the whole of Eppan.

Ice holes

Refreshment on hot summer days

This well-known natural phenomenon of ice holes is located between the two municipalities of Eppan and Kaltern. The massif above the settlement of Gand in the area of the ice holes consists of porphyry debris.

History

Hocheppan Castle Chapel

A journey into the Middle Ages

The castle chapel in the south of the Hocheppan castle, the so-called "Sistine Chapel of the Alps", is a special witness to days that are long gone. Although it was consecrated in the Middle Ages, around 1131, both its architecture and the paintings are almost complete and very well preserved. The Romanesque frescoes from the 13th century show typical motifs from the time when the castle was built, such as a hunting scene or the famous "dumpling eater". Furthermore, there are frescoes with scenes from the life of Jesus and the apostles, which are among the best preserved in Tyrol.

Spring Valley

A fairytale land

A sea of snowdrops and crocuses. A walk through the Spring Valley, which lies between the Montiggl lakes and Lake Kaltern, feels like something out of a fairy tale. The stony and rooty forest covered in moss is almost unrecognisable in spring. In the month of March, the whole forest is covered in a white to purple sea of flowers. An experience for the whole family.
