small climb, but worth it

The Talfer Bridge was planned by Italian fascism as a parade route to the Victory Monument. Compared to other colonial architecture in the world, however, the Talfer Bridge is extremely modest. Today, with its decorated railings and flower baskets, it looks almost idyllic.

Talvera Meadows (Talferwiesen)

Highlight • Parking

The promenade surrounding the old town offers unbelievably good opportunities for regeneration, strolling ... doing sports. Even an outdoor gym is offered. Contrary to expectations based on German experience, there is no sign of vandalism or destructive rage.

View of Mareccio Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is an excellent point to admire the Mareccio castle. From here, the medieval castle appears imposing against the backdrop of the mountains.

It was built in the 13th century, although its current structure dates back to the 16th century, when the Römer family transformed it into a Renaissance-style residential castle. Today it is mainly used as a conference center, but is also open for visits.

It is located in the St. Anton von Bozen district. Two promenades end at the residence: the Talfer promenade or the Bozen water wall and the St. Oswald promenade.
