But what makes the park truly unique is the atmosphere that surrounds it.

The fresh mountain air, chirping birds and the natural beauty of the surroundings motivate you to give your all and push your limits. In addition, the park is a place for meeting and exchange. It is a place to make new contacts and forge new friendships through a shared passion for a healthy and active lifestyle. The park is open to everyone and is free of charge, making functional training affordable for everyone. If you are looking for new challenges and scenery, come to San Vigilio di Marebbe for a unique outdoor training experience. The park is illuminated until midnight.

Easy walk from Bruneck/Brunico to "Kaiserwarte" and Reischach/Riscone.

Around 1903, on the highest point of "Kühbergl/Monte Spalliera", a 18 meters high observation tower was built, which allowed the Emperor Franz Joseph I to observe the artillery movements in Brunico and surroundings. This tower and the hill were named "Kaiserwarte". Later the tower became a popular scenic spot, but over the years it suffered natural damages and in 1950 it had to be removed for safety reasons. Currently a small stone column can be seen where once the tower stood.

Experience genuine Ladin tradition on a walk through the Ladin viles and admire the ancient architectural style of a bygone era. The viles are groups of wooden or masonry houses and wooden barns that stand close together in the middle of a slope or on the edge of green terraces. They are compact nuclei exposed to the sun, built to protect each other and help with the agricultural products that everyone produces, whether milk, eggs or meat, but also with the various handicraft activities that everyone carries out, while preserving the little arable land available. 
Get involved in this rural life, but one that is so precious that it can still be told and experienced again here and there.
