Welsberg-Taisten: Culture, Family Experiences and Holidays in South Tyrol

Culture and Everyday Life in Welsberg-Taisten

If you choose Welsberg-Taisten for an independent holiday, you can expect a clear cultural focus. Welsperg Castle is one of the oldest and best-preserved castles in South Tyrol. At the same time, it is a cultural venue with changing exhibitions, concerts and events. This allows you to incorporate history, art and shared experiences into your travel plans without having to focus on just one type of activity.

The parish church of St. Margherita is located in the center of Monguelfo. Monguelfo is also the birthplace of the Baroque painter Paul Troger; four of his works can still be seen there today. For the parish church of Santa Margherita, Troger created three important paintings between 1738 and 1739: the altarpiece of the high altar and two side altarpieces. Anyone interested in Italian art and sacred spaces will find a direct link to the region's cultural history here.

Plan Your Visit to the Castle on Foot

From Welsberg, Welsperg Castle can be reached on foot via the “Small Castle Circuit” or the “Large Castle Circuit.” Both routes begin in Welsberg and lead to the same castle; the choice therefore concerns the route to this cultural venue. For planning your day, this gives you two ways to combine a visit to the cultural venue with walking. You can choose the option that best suits your preferred pace and the other priorities for your day.

Family Experiences in the Great Outdoors

Parco Prenninger has an adventure play area for children. Well-maintained paths lead through extensive green spaces with shady areas. A small stream invites children to wade and play in the water. The park therefore offers various ways to spend time outdoors, fitting just as well into a family itinerary as into a quieter part of the holiday day.

Another shared activity awaits you at Adventure Golf in Monguelfo. It is located next to Monguelfo railway station and has nine artificial-turf courses. Two different game variations are possible on each course. If you are playing with different preferences, this gives you two playing options per course.

Weekly Market on the Main Square

A weekly market takes place every Tuesday from 08:00 to 13:00 on the main square in Welsberg. Various stalls offer clothing, shoes and local products, among other things. If you would like to experience local everyday life in addition to the sights, this morning market is one of the tangible opportunities to include in your plans.
