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.

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 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/.

Built in 1250 by Bishop Bruno von Kirchberg, Bruneck Castle was first mentioned in 1271 as castrum Bruneke. The castle, which sits on a hill above the town of Rienz, was always in the hands of episcopal builders, who repeatedly changed and renovated it over the centuries.
