South of Bozen we enter a land spoiled by the sun. Here starts the South of the region and extends to Salurn, the border of Trentino. Cypresses, olive trees, palms, vineyards and orchards line the hills framing the valley.
With its mild climate the South of South Tyrol offers a paradise for wine- and fruit farmers. Accordingly diverse is the nature. During spring the valley vanishes under a glorious sea of blossom. In the Spring Valley in Eppan this spectacle can be witnessed already at the end of February.
