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.

Magnificently decorated hall that can apparently also be rented. Fantastic view through the windows into the Rienz gorge

Interesting collection of old weapons and equipment

The former bishop's castle, Bruneck Castle, towers majestically above the city. Visit the magnificent rooms and the Messner Mountain Museum Ripa and enjoy the wonderful view. You can find more information at https://www.messner-mountain-museum.it/de/ripa/museum/.
