The Eggental valley offers so much for the inquisitive to discover: ancient farmsteads, even older churches and chapels; natural treasures that remind us (once more) of just how small we humans are: even the history of the earth or the wonders of the stars.
Visitors to this valley, located between the Rosengarten and Latemar massifs, should bring with them a healthy dose of curiosity. Examples of places to explore include the Bletterbach stream, which has been carving its way into the foot of the Weisshorn peak near Aldein/Aldino for millions of years now, leaving behind an impressive gorge that is a must-see; the pilgrimage church of Maria Weissenstein, once visited by Pope John Paul II; or the parish churches of the Eggental villages with their variety of individual features, frescoes and histories. The star village of Steinegg/Collepietra-Gummer/San Valentino takes you off into the realm of the planets, while the farms in the valley show just how much work – and passion – goes into local produce. It is truly easy to set off on a voyage of discovery here in the Eggental valley: into the past, present, or future – both in the heavens and on Earth!

During the "Culturinarika" from 24 June to 29 July 2023 you will experience the Eggental valley and its culinary and cultural highlights.
When the stars above Steinegg dance to the sounds of the well-known South Tyrolean band, Mainfelt, 6 gourmet chefs prepare creative delights in old wood-fired ovens in Welschnofen and works of art by local artists come to life at an art performance in Obereggen or Deutschnofen, you know that it’s Eggen Valley’s Culturinarika time!
