Built between 1833 and 1838 under Emperor Franz I of Austria, it was one of the safest fortresses in the Alpine region of its time - built for the purpose of securing the axis between southern Germany and northern Italy in the Habsburg Empire. 65,000 square meters of area make the Franzenfeste the largest historical complex in South Tyrol. In addition to an estimated 20 million bricks and 250,000 cubic meters of granite, many tons of wood, sand and lime were used. The adaptation to the terrain, the fire fronts, bomb-proof gun positions, a labyrinth of tunnels and passageways, speak for the planning masterpiece. The fortress had already lost its strategic importance by the time it was completed. There was never any confrontation with the enemy; now and again companies were quartered there, but they were only waiting for a deployment in the south. Ultimately, the fortress served mainly as a weapons and ammunition depot for the Italian military until 2003.

Until a few years ago, anyone who wanted to spend a holiday in the Pusteria Valley from Brenner or Salorno was forced to drive through the ruins of the Klusa of Rio Pusteria. Today, traffic no longer flows directly through this fortress.

In the middle of the 13th century, a fortress was built on the rock that juts out into the valley to protect the administrative seat of the Prince-Bishop of Brixen. Today it is the Messner Mountain Museum.

In Tibetan, "ri" means mountain and "pa" means man. The Messner Mountain Museum Ripa in Brunico introduces visitors to the culture and way of life of the mountain peoples. Whether Africa or Asia, South America or Europe - life in mountainous regions poses special challenges to people all over the world. During his expeditions, Reinhold Messner had many encounters with people who were shaped by life in the mountains. The permanent exhibition Heritage of the Mountains sheds light on the everyday life of various mountain peoples, but also tells about their religion and the effects of tourism.

The facility fits perfectly into the landscape. The route is very close to optimal. You have to drive it several times to take in all the impressions.

The story to attack.
