Situated between the Talvera and Isarco rivers Bozen, or Bolzano in Italian, became part of Italy only after World War I. This ancient town dates back to the Iron Age, with a 5,000 year old iceman’s corpse on display at the local museum. In the Middle Ages, Bozen was an important town famous for its market.

For information on Bozen and Sout Triol head to the tourist office at Piazza Walther 8. It is close to the Duomo and work from 9 am to 6:30 pm Monday to Friday and from 9am to 12:30 pm on Saturdays.

The best way to get around is on a bike. What makes your bike ride even more special is the fact that between Easter and October it is absolutely free!
