Holidays in Waidbruck
Just as Kuens near Meran or Kurtinig in Southern South Tyrol also Waidbruck ranks among the smallest municipalities in the province. Thanks to its central position, the village is an excellent starting point for excursions.
You will find the likeable village at 470 m above sea level in the lower part of the Eisacktal, where the valley of Gröden branches off towards the west.
Already during the Roman age, there was a settlement called “Sublavio”, supposedly around a bridge right in this area.
During the Middle Ages, the area was a popular stop for travellers and pilgrims on the way to the south. Thanks to its central position, Waidbruck is an ideal starting point for excursions in all directions still today – be it by car, by train or by bike.
Via the train station next to the centre of Waidbruck, you can easily and quickly get to the worth-seeing cities of Bozen, Klausen and Brixen.
Castle Trostburg is well-preserved and can be visited with guided tours.
