Longega between the Dolomites, culture and e-MTB tours

Longega lies at the confluence of the Gadera stream and the Rio San Vigilio. Longega combines the confluence of the Gadera stream and the Rio San Vigilio with Dolomite peaks above the village, mountains in the surrounding area, and specific cultural destinations in Longega and the wider region.

Natural surroundings between the valley and the Dolomite peaks

Of Marebbe’s 16,134 hectares, 67% lie within Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park. Dolomite peaks in Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park rise above Longega. The nature park is therefore geographically connected to the landscape around the village both through Marebbe’s share of the area and through the peaks above Longega.

Moosener Berg, Willeitkopf and Wegisser are located in the immediate surroundings of Longega; Bubenbühel is a mountain in the area around Longega.

Chapels and cultural destinations in the surrounding area

Longega’s cultural side is also connected to specific places. Up to two chapels were built in Longega. In the wider regional area, you will find the Museo Diocesano Hofburg Brixen museum, the Resti del Castello Sant'Uberto ruins, the Chiesetta di San Giovanni in Ranui church, and Caritas church. The cultural spectrum thus ranges from sacred buildings in Longega to a museum, ruins and other churches in the surrounding region.
