Naudersberg was first recorded as the residence of Herr von Nauders in 1239. It was home to a princely court since around 1300, then a castle was built. During the Engadin war under Herzog Siegmund and Kaiser Maximilian 1st, the castle was expanded to include outlying estates, rondelles, round towers and battlements.
 

The revitalised Kaiserschützenweg was built during the First World War and leads from Fort Nauders for around 2km, ascending and descending around 500m in altitude, through the woods to the battlements, passing dilapidated posts and rock caverns big enough to explore. There is an informative memorial on the Kaiserschützen at Fort Nauders.

 

A path into the past begins at Fort Nauders! The old road is steep, reaching the Inn at Finstermünz. There is a small chapel, the old toll house and ‘Sigismundseck’ built by Herzog Sigismund, which looks like it’s been stuck to the rock. In the middle of the Inn, there is an old tower with a wooden bridge.

 

This spa town in South Tyrol is sure to impress with Alpine-Mediterranean atmosphere. Meran’s Old Town invites you to mooch around its small boutiques and shops. Highlights include the gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, the thermal baths and various museums, stately homes and castles.

 

In Innsbruck, you’ll find sights such as the Golden Roof, the Imperial Palace, the Hofgarten park and the Alpenzoo. Stroll along Maria-Theresien- Straße through the historic Old Town with views of the gorgeous Alpine panorama.
