Bruneck - Brunico

Among the towns of South Tyrol, Bruneck–Brunico stands out for its position where the Ahr meets the Rienz in the Puster Valley. Bruneck Castle, founded in 1251 by Prince-Bishop Bruno von Kirchberg, dominates the old centre and now houses the Messner Mountain Museum Ripa, dedicated to the cultures of mountain peoples. The historic Stadtgasse forms the town’s traditional spine, lined with local shops and cafés. Above the valley rises Kronplatz, known in Italian as Plan de Corones, while the town’s German and Italian names reflect South Tyrol’s bilingual character.
