On the plateau in the mountains of Tisens, between Merano and Bolzano there is the pitoresque village Prissiano, which is also called "castle-village", because in its proximity there are many castles: Schloss Fahlburg, Zwingenburg, Wehrburg, Schloss Holz and Schloss Katzenaugen.
There's also Europe's oldest and biggest grape which covers an area of 300 square-metres.
