When summer gives way to crisp days and clear skies, nature around Bressanine turns into a colourful kaleidoscope.
Traditions that warm the heart
An autumn evening, the crackling of chestnuts on the fire, the scent of speck and dumplings: this is how autumn can be enjoyed in South Tyrol. Every Wednesday and Thursday, from 1 October to 6 November, visitors can experience this ancient tradition with guided tours of taste and hospitality. These paths in Brixen tell stories, from the Seven Churches Trail that invites you on a spiritual journey to Mount Ponente, to the Spelonca where you can discover old mills, historic ovens and medicinal plants.
Walks withing an apple ambassador
One absolute novelty are the guided walks with an apple ambassador every Tuesday from 23 September to 14 October. An opportunity to learn interesting facts about beekeeping and fruit growing in South Tyrol, discover rare varieties and be amazed, more than 700 apple varieties grow in South Tyrol.
