Discover Feldthurns – Holiday apartment in Feldthurns between culture and hiking trails

Feldthurns combines historical evidence with scenic trails and regional culinary traditions. If you are considering a holiday apartment in Feldthurns as a base for your holiday, you will find a range of ideas here for eventful and more relaxing days: Velthurns Castle, the Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary, easy hikes, a public swimming pool and the traditional Törggelen all shape the selection.

Castle, church and archaeology

Velthurns Castle serves as a museum and event venue and impresses with its late Renaissance interior. Castel Velturno was built from 1577 to 1587. Particularly noteworthy are the wood panelling, inlays, carved portals and wooden ceilings: they rank among the most significant works of Renaissance cabinetmaking in the entire southern German-speaking region.

As a cultural heritage site, Castel Velturno is open to the public between March and November. The Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary is another historic focal point. It is the oldest house of worship in Feldthurns and was built in 1112 as a small, modest chapel. From 1170 onwards, it served as a parish church; it acquired its present late Gothic form during the renovation carried out from 1894 to 1899. The Feldthurns Archaeoparc complements these impressions with an archaeological site that includes burial sites and remains of pottery production.

Hiking trails with different characteristics

The panoramic trail in Feldthurns is an easy hike offering 360° views of the Dolomites. The route leads through picturesque meadows and forests, making it suitable for anyone who wants to combine exercise with expansive scenic impressions. The varied village circuit Feldthurns–Schnauders–Garn–Verdings leads around Feldthurns past Velthurns Castle, traditional farms and chestnut groves. Along the way, it offers beautiful views of the South Tyrolean landscape.

The Keschtnweg section from Feldthurns to Klausen also has its own distinctive character. It begins at the Church of St Anthony in Feldthurns, leads via Pardell to Säben Abbey and from there descends scenically to Klausen. The panoramic trail can be reached from Klausen by bus no. 343 and from Brixen by bus no. 342.

Culinary enjoyment and relaxing holiday days

The Feldthurns swimming pool is a public swimming pool in the municipality of Feldthurns and offers another option for planning a more relaxing part of the day. During Törggelen, traditional farm-style cuisine, new wine and roasted “Keschtn” – chestnuts – are served in Törggele establishments. This means that, alongside culture and hiking, typical regional culinary experiences are also at the heart of the experience.
