Exciting excursions & activities for all the family
St. Prokulus Church
St.Prokulus, a delightful little church just outside Naturns, is the most famous and most written about monument in South Tyrol. It was built in the seventh century and dedicated to St. Prokulus, Bishop of Verona and patron saint of cattle and irrigation supplies. Its pre-Carolingian frescos are considered to be the most significant art treasure in Middle Europe while the fourteenth century Gothic frescos depicting the Creation are also much appraised.
The Prokulus Museum
Historic, little St. Prokulus church, just outside the village of Naturns, is well-known for its wonderful Medieval frescos and has even more to offer now that a museum about its history opened in Spring 2006. The museum, housed under-ground a mere short walk from the church itself, gives visitors a fascinating, multi-media trip back into the past.
Texel Group Nature House
The Department for Natural Parks has prepared informative texts and pictures about the Texel Group Nature Park in particular and other parks in South Tyrol in general. The Nature Park House presents a well-designed miniature reproduction of the park and explains the educational concept of nature parks. Visitors interested to know more about the feel, smell and sounds of nature are sure to enjoy themselves here. Do come and see for yourselves if you would like to experience nature and all her wonders in a totally different way!
Juval Castle
Juval has been carefully restored to its former glory and nature, culture and tourism all flourish here, side by side. The castle's owner, famous climber and expedition leader, Reinhold Messner, explains that he is trying to give back a little happiness and peace - what the Hindu call "tashi delek" - to the mountains and to their inhabitants. A visit to the castle is a real adventure! (July and August closed)
