Bozen

Bozen, the main city in Südtirol, was only a hone hour bus ride away and so we used out free ticket for public transport that came with the apartment for a day trip. Mia got a bit carsick on the bus ride down the mountains with the many turns but she made it.

The street market in the old town is a tourist attraction

It was hotter than in the Kasteruth that is on a altitude of 1000 m - good that there was some ice cream

The old narrow streets and walkways were  also nice and cool

The museum build for the 5000 year old man out of the ise - Ötz- who was found in a glacier at
the Italian and Austrian border 30 years ago was really interesting. Mia tried out his coat - well it was a replic

Ötzi is in a cooler with a window and can't be photographed.

 

It turned out that he was murdered by an arrow shot in his back. The sory was even covered in the New York Times

After all the culture and history it was time to relax on a playground

It was beautifully located by a river

Then we made good use of our pass for free public transport and used the gondola to go to upper Bozen. The view from the gondola was breathtaking

On top we took the free tram to a village and enjoyed the views

The bus ride back went better for Mia and we were back n Kastelruth at 9 pm. The kitchen in the regular restaurants was closed but we got a gret pizza
