Ratschings surprises – with a cultural richness that goes far beyond idyllic mountain scenery. Between authentic local life and fascinating history, you’ll discover real cultural sites, living heritage, and honest, down-to-earth pleasures.
At the Ridnaun Mining Museum in Maiern, you’ll get a vivid impression of how tough life was for the miners. They worked at over 2,000 metres above sea level, in extreme conditions – and the museum brings their world impressively to life.
Very different, yet just as fascinating: the Museum of Hunting and Fishing at Wolfsthurn Castle. Inside the splendid baroque rooms, you’ll find hunting stories, animal exhibits, and insights into the lifestyle of South Tyrol’s aristocracy.
And of course, food is part of the culture, too: the Tyrolean dumpling – once a simple farmer’s meal – is now a beloved speciality in many delicious variations. Whether hearty with speck or refined with cheese: in Racines, taste becomes a cultural experience.
