How about a trip back into the past? Bruneck and the Pustertal Valley are rich in history – and there are many ways to experience it here. These include exciting museums, such as the Messner Mountain Museum RIPA at Bruneck Castle (>>>virtual tour) and Mansio Sebatum in St. Lorenzen, all of which hark back to periods of time that you are more than likely only familiar with from stories and books. Do you love art and graphic design? Then the ECK Museum of Art is an absolute must-visit. And where can you find over 700 fire helmets from all over the world? That’s right! At the Fire Helmet Museum in Gais. There are two really special museums waiting for you on the Kronplatz summit plateau: Reinhold Messner’s MMM Corones and the museum of mountain photography, LUMEN, which are both well worth a visit.
