| Page Views: 927 Last Visit to Glorenza: May, 2008 I Visit Here Frequently | Glurns - a charming medieval alpine idyll by lotharlerch - last update: Jun 11, 2008 |
Only town in Tirol with complete town walls Although not far from the highly frequented road over the Reschen/Resia (a road without road tolls as alternative to the Brenner pass) it remained an "off the beaten track " place until our days.
Glurns (the Italian name is since 1919 Glorenza according to the list of topographic names of South Tirol elaborated by Benito Mussolini's friend Ettore Tolomei) within its walls is so tiny that you can cross it in every direction in maybe three minutes but it contains lots of nice and picturesque details. |

Glorenza looks like a great stop-over. Old walled towns are always great to see and this churchtower inside the lake, it is hard to believe how long it stands that way already ! | desert_princess Tue Nov 29, 2005 02:40 UTC
I crossed Glurns by mistake when I took the wrong bus on the way to Nauders...You can imagine how surprised I was to find such a marvel at the side of the main Road of Vinschgau...Amazing place....hey I came back to see my name mentioned twice!! THANXX | Anjutka Sun Jun 5, 2005 15:48 UTC
