Raas - Rasa: Eisacktal - Brixen - Via Pra Millan - Meluno - Sarns - Cleran
The Eisack Valley defines the setting of Brixen — its compact town spreads along the river beneath cultivated slopes and the mountains of South Tyrol. This stretch of valley includes Brixen and the smaller communities of Cleran, Meluno, Millanderau and Sarns, below the plateau around Raas. Brixen, known in Italian as Bressanone, is a bilingual Alpine town whose economy and daily life remain closely tied to the surrounding apple-growing land. Its historic centre is marked by the Cathedral of Bressanone and the Hofburg, the former residence of the prince-bishops. The city remained an important episcopal centre after the bishops’ seat was transferred here from Säben in the late 10th century. Roads, orchards and wooded hills give this part of the Eisack Valley a settled, agricultural character.

Few settlements in South Tyrol have a history as closely tied to apple cultivation on the Natz-Schabs plateau as Raas, known in Italian as Rasa. The village stands above Brixen/Bressanone, between the Eisack and Rienz valleys, where orchards, small farms and woodland shape the upland terrain. Its German and Italian names reflect the bilingual character of the province. Brixen’s historic centre and the Augustinian Neustift Abbey are important landmarks in the surrounding area.

Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol is renowned across Italy for the Dolomites, whose pale limestone massifs define much of its eastern skyline. This autonomous region follows the upper Adige basin, from vineyards and apple orchards around Bolzano to high valleys crossed by glaciers and Alpine passes. Its character is distinctly multilingual: Italian and German are official languages, while Ladin remains in use in several Dolomite valleys. Medieval castles, Tyrolean customs and Italian city life meet in a borderland historically connected with Tyrol.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
