Eisacktal.
Named after its river, the Eisacktal changes appearance
spectacularly in just 90 kilometres: wild and romantic
in the north, towered over by some of the highest
peaks in the Alps, on to the medieval trading town
of Sterzing, then the old bishop’s seat of
Brixen, followed by Klausen. Here picturesque farmsteads
and farmhouse restaurants adorn the mountainsides,
surrounded by vines and sturdy chestnut trees. Eisacktaler
white wines are among Europe’s finest.
