ヴァルダーオラ-ヴァルダーオラの洞窟・トップ19

We've seen many military cemeteries, but this one is truly poignant. It serves as the final resting place for fallen soldiers of various nationalities and denominations from the First and Second World Wars. The complex was designed by the pioneer officer and architect Ing. A. Bechtold from Bregenz to blend harmoniously into the forest setting. Typical of the cemetery is that most of the graves are made of wood and individually designed, giving it its character as a "forest cemetery." The only stone structures are the cemetery chapel and the fountain of tears. There are fenced-off sections for Muslim and Jewish graves, highlighting the diversity of those buried here.

The cemetery was established during the First World War because Bruneck was home to several military hospitals, and the many deceased soldiers and prisoners of war could not be buried in the town cemetery.

Very well-kept beautiful cemetery

The Bruneck Military Cemetery (officially: Cimitero Militare di Brunico) is a war cemetery from the First World War, in which mainly Austro-Hungarian and Italian soldiers who died in the mountain fighting on the Dolomites Front are buried.

A nice shopping street

Mostly medieval character with 4 city gates and interesting frescoes.

Very pretty little castle with informative signs. You can easily spend 1-2 hours here. Make sure to check the opening times beforehand!

The tower is so high that the castle almost looks a bit like a church. Welsperg Castle is a rather rare inner castle and the high keep is the oldest part of it. The unusual proportions were created by a fire after the burnt-out top floor of the outbuilding was demolished and the roof structure was simply rebuilt one floor below. The history of the complex is also exciting and you can find out more about it on a tour.
