Legend has it, that in the former capuchin monastery once there was the mythical treasure of Loreto. Today, the monastery is open for the public, as well as the picture gallery and the modern gallery of the museum.
From the capuchin’s hill directly next to the monastery and its garden, you have a wonderful view to the city and the valley. All around, the wonderful landscape invites you to stroll, hike, marvel… and to stay. Old and winding paths lead to the castle Branzoll, to the Säben Monastery, to the nice villages Pardell, Verdings, Latzfons or Gufidaun, passing by rustic farms, lush and green meadows and dense forests
