So that you can get a small overview before your holiday, what should not be missing on your "Must-see" list, we have compiled here our top sights in Latsch and surroundings:
Habsburg Museum
This museum is located in the biker village of Latsch. There you can see private objects of the monarchy Austria - Hungary collected over many years. The collection pieces, which give an insight into the monarchy Austria - Hungary are accommodated in the patrician house of the restaurant Adler.
Shell stone Latsch
On the sun-exposed slope between Kastelbell and Goldrain you can find so-called shell stones. These stones are man-made hollows in the rock, which are widespread all over the world - their significance is still a real mystery today.
Marble of Laas
The marble hikes to the famous marble quarries in Laas in the Vinschgau Valley are probably one of the most exciting hiking tours in South Tyrol. Here you can find out where the white gold really comes from.
Churburg
The Churburg Castle, which was built in the 13th century, is considered the most magnificent Renaissance residence in South Tyrol and is therefore a real tourist attraction in the Vinschgau Valley. Churburg Castle is also one of the best-preserved palaces in South Tyrol and is owned by the Trapp family.
Lake Reschensee
The Lake Reschensee is a true highlight of every holiday in South Tyrol. The tower in the lake is the landmark of the Vinschgau cultural region and the postcard motif par excellence! As an attractive excursion destination, you can go hiking, biking, surfing and kayaking in summer and ice skating and snow kiting in winter.
