Freienfeld is situated only a few kilometers south of the
alpine city of Sterzing / Vipiteno on the
old Brenner pass road. The three very charming main villages
Maria Trens,
Stilfes and
Mauls along with the small hamlets in the area are wonderfully embedded in the sourrounding nature. The small villages with their
picturesque, rustic village centers and historically interesting churches and farms offer a special
insight into South Tyrolean village life.
Freienfeld's cultural gems include the
pilgrimage church in Maria Trens and the medieval
Castle Reifenstein, one of the best preserved castles in South Tyrol and the entire Alpine region. Impressive natural landscapes and numerous hidden places invite you to linger and explore.
Enjoy the variety of
South Tyrolean and Mediterranean cuisine in
family-run accommodations and look forward to culinary adventures in South Tyrolean inns, Törggele-locations, farm taverns, pizzerias, hip brunch bars and gourmet restaurants.
