    Where time has stood still? As early as 1505, the Bolzano elite moved up to the Ritten during the hot summer months. With the construction of the rack railway from Bolzano to the Ritten around 1907, the Ritten definitively became the cradle of the summer retreat. This traditional summer retreat lasted exactly 72 days. It started each year on June 29th, on "Peter & Paul," and ended in early September. Let yourself be inspired during the walk on the promenade...

    Author’s recommendation

    When summer arrives, Maria Himmelfahrt with its beautiful summer villas and benches under the lindens is worth a visit.
