Brixen Cathedral Square is quite large for a medieval town. As the city's ruler, the bishop was always keen to ensure the square remained undeveloped, so as not to obstruct the view of the cathedral and the adjacent bishop's palace. When the emperor passed through in the Middle Ages, he and his entourage could pitch their tents in the spacious square. Even today, processions, celebrations, and important events are held in Cathedral Square. During the Christmas season, the Christmas market is bustling with activity. https://www.brixnerdom.com/dombezirk/domplatz

From the Kreuzwiesenalm you have a wonderful view of the Peitlerkofel... Very nice mountain hut, which even has a sauna. The food is very tasty, and it's not for nothing that it's recommended by Gault-Millau. The camp offers a rustic place to stay overnight.
