With its 86-meter-high, entirely brick tower, the parish church of Tramin is not only the spiritual center of the village, but also an architectural gem: It boasts the highest brick church tower in Tyrol. Source: https://www.tramin.com/de/pfarrkirche/

It is worth the climb for the beautiful panorama that can be admired towards the crest of the Alps and the Fiemme Valley.

In Altenburg, not only stands what is probably the oldest church in South Tyrol, but also another church built right above it, about a millennium later. This is the Church of St. Vigil, dedicated to St. Vigilius, Bishop of Trent. This saint is particularly venerated today in South Tyrol and Trentino. A church on this site was mentioned as early as the mid-9th century in the Letter of St. Vigilius, and subsequently in 1288, 1326, and 1390. A castle also stood enthroned on this porphyry dome in ancient times. Source: https://www.kalterersee.com/de/highlights/sehenswuerdigkeiten/kirche-st-vigil-in-altenburg/
