To visit: Gardena Valley
Wood carvingThis form of arts and crafts is mainly carried out in the Gardena Valley. Real pieces of arts made from wood have been created there for the last few centuries. The vast offer ranges from statues of Saints to figures of the crib and profane arts of wood carving. Wood carving from the Gardena Valley is now known throughout the world and is tightly connected to the landscape and history of this beautiful valley.
 The tradition of wood carving stretches back over 350 years and all pieces of art, which were exclusively made by hand are labelled with the protective seal of the Chamber of Commerce of Bolzano. Wood carvers can also be found in other valleys of South Tyrol, for example in the Aurina Valley. These workshops and points of sale are definitely worth a visit. Note: In St. Christina in the Gardena Valley the sculptors of the village have created a larger-than-life crib, which can be visited throughout the whole year!
Fischburg CastleThis building is located at the bottom of the Langkofel Mountain in Val Gardena Valley. In part it still is a traditional castle of the Middle Ages, in part already an elegant renaissance residence. This very well preserved castle was inhabited by the Wolkenstein Family in the 16th Century and disposes of two living tracts, two farms, one chapel and five towers.
