The sunny, southerly mid-altitude location with its majestic chestnut trees and the wonderful view of the mighty Geisler was reason enough for the bishops of Brixen to establish their summer residence here in 1577. In the immediate vicinity of the Velthurns Castle, you'll find a picturesque and easily-reached village which – together with its subdivisions of Schrambach, Schnauders, Tschiffnon, Garn, and Untrum – offers many interesting pleasurable experience.
