Holidays in Burgstall
Burgstall is located at 270 m of altitude on the shores or river Etsch, south of Meran. In the 13the century already, the village was mentioned in document for the first time.
The village of Burgstall is located between a nature reserve and apple orchards and is separated from the neighbouring village of Lana by river Etsch. Thanks to its strategically favourable position, Burgstall is an ideal starting point for excursions. The capital Bozen can be reached within 15 minutes, the city of Meran within 10 minutes by car.
The long history of Burgstall is witness mainly by the remnants of the eponymous castle that has given the village its name. The castle was once built by Earl Volkmar of Burgstall. Today, only a few parts of the circular wall are left.
Worthwhile as well is the Burgstaller Auen biotope, that has remained after the drying of the valley bottom, Heilig Kreuz church and the Animal Museum displaying rare animals and more than 300 native bird species.
SaHeilig Kreuz church is located in the middle of nature and was built in 1330 by Volkmar from Burgstall.
