View over the lake

Montiggl, a district of Appiano, is a tiny village near the two lakes of the same name. It was first mentioned in 1191 in the Caldaro Letter of St. Vigilius as Monticulum (little mountain). At its center stands the small late Gothic church dedicated to the Three Kings. It dates back to 1470. The church tower also has its own history. The only bell was cast around 1505 and still rings today. The low pyramid roof was added in 1518. In addition to Gothic elements, the church also features Baroque and Renaissance elements: The Baroque altar from 1695, for example, was designed by Jörg Stieger of Ehrenburg, and the sacristy dates from the late Baroque period. The Tyrolean coat of arms is located on the keystone of the choir. Before the parish of St. Michael was founded in 1921, the Church of the Three Kings in Montiggl was cared for by Franciscans. When taking a walk to the Montiggler Lakes or the Frühlingstal valley, a visit to the hamlet with its old houses in the Überetsch style is recommended.

The autumn sun causes steam to rise above the water.

Small but beautiful.

Sigmundskron Castle is located south of Bolzano, above the Adige River. The castle has changed hands and names several times over the centuries. Before Sigmundskron, the castle was called Firmian.
