Egna - experience the charming corners of this lovely place

The pretty town appeals with its historic town centre and its picturesque sites invite to stay a while.

The pretty market town of Egna with its natural and cultural monuments includes the villages of Laghetti, Villa and Mazzon. Starting from your holiday accommodation, the town is easily reached on foot. The town centre of Egna is a low-traffic zone and the buildings reflect Venetian architecture. The oriels and pretty courtyards here offer one or the other insight into bygone times. The “Museum of Everyday Culture“ also takes you on a journey back in time and can also be found in the arcades.

Neumarkt and wine have always formed a symbiotic relationship – the grapes of the Pinot Noir thrive here especially well. Visit the hamlet of Mazzon high above Neumarkt; its South Tyrol’s No. 1 Pinot Noir wine-growing region and features the remains of Caldif Castle and historic vineyards. North of the town is the Castelfeder Biotope, a place for hikers and nature lovers which appeals with its old ruins and a Roman fortress. The local recreational area is reached within few minutes on foot or by bicycle via the old disused track of the Val di Fiemme Railways.

Immerse yourself in the magic of the Egna arcades and experience Mediterranean holiday moments in an enchanted atmosphere – an extensive shopping tour is of course also a must.

Whether Arcade Festivals or Pinot Noir Days - Egna entertains you.

{ddcf2ecb14b89c60e3701b0bde3f6508}Various events are staged in in the South Tyrolean Bassa Atesina, especially in Egna – but looking a bit closer you realise that they often have one factor in common: WINE.

The Pinot Noir Days dominate the south of South Tyrol in May. Egna has been the home of this grape variety since the 19th century. As key growing area of this type of grape, Egna is also known as “Pinot Noir Heaven“. To find out what this fine wine really tastes like, you best visit the event yourself.

“Wine & Arcades“ is the name of a Egna summer event which is dedicated to the region’s quality wines. Around 50 excellent vineyards present themselves at this occasion in the historic arcades of Egna Delicacies prepared by various top chefs are also served.

South Tyrol’s oldest village fête is always staged in August. The Arcade Festival – celebrated in the picturesque arcades of Egna – treats its visitors to culinary delights, three big stages with live performances, music in the courtyards and of course to the finest wines.

The South Tyrolean Bassa Atesina turns into one big theatre stage in September when a special theatre festival takes place. Aim is to present the audience with plays by authors of universal literature in terms of a distinct, contemporary and independent South Tyrolean (popular) theatre at an immediate crossroad of two languages and cultures.
