Experience culture at museums & churches

Getting to know your holiday resort a little better is something you can also do on rainy days – for instance, during a visit to one of the many fascinating museums. Learn more about the region’s history at the Innichen Chapter Museum, the Museum Rudolf Stolz in Sexten or the Haus Wassermann local tourism museum in Niederdorf. Or how about gaining some fascinating insights into the flora and fauna of the Dolomites at the Three Peaks Nature Park Visitor Center?

If you’re interested in architecture and cultural history, the many churches of the 3 Zinnen Dolomites region also make excellent rainy-day destinations. Have you ever visited the impressive Innichen Collegiate Church, for example?
