Naturns: Irrigation Canal Paths, Wine and Culture
Accommodation in Naturns
Texel Group Nature Park and Sonnenberg Mountain
Naturns lies at the foot of Texel Group Nature Park. The Sonnenberg Mountain above Naturns features a sparse dry grassland landscape that is considered a rarity in the Alpine region. A dry grassland landscape is generally characterised by dry locations and sparse vegetation. The area between the valley floor of the Adige and the glacier region includes different altitude zones.
Water, Frescoes and Church Architecture
The Museo San Procolo displays Gothic frescoes that were removed from the church, as well as archaeological finds from San Procolo Church. Gothic frescoes are wall paintings from the Gothic period; archaeological finds provide insight into earlier times. Both themes at the Museo San Procolo are connected with San Procolo Church.
The permanent exhibition at the Texel Group Nature Park House in Naturns is dedicated to water and leads from the Adige in the valley floor up to the glacier region. The exhibition topic therefore ranges from the landscape in the valley floor to the high mountains, without equating the individual areas.
The museum route in the St. Proculus Church Museum leads through four spatial and chronological periods: Late Antiquity, the Early Middle Ages, the Late Middle Ages and the Thirty Years' War.
The late Gothic parish church of St. Zeno in Naturns was built between 1474 and 1475. The choir of St. Zeno Parish Church in Naturns was rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1760.
