South Tyrol is an ancient cultivated landscape. For instance you can see 5,000-year-old carvings on a menhir. In the close vicinity of your Dolce Vita Hotel in the north of Italy is the Obermontani castle, where the original script of the 'Nibelungen' epic was found. In 1911 Iceman Ötzi was found 5,200 years after his death at the Similaun glacier. Would you like to find out more about the culture of South Tyrol?
