S. Lorenzo di Sebato - St. Lorenzen in Pustertal
The air is filled with history! The wide and ample section
of the Pustertal valley in which St. Lorenzen is located has
cast its spell over the people since the dim and distant
past. Castles from the Middle Ages, prehistoric settlements
and the remains of the Roman community of Sebatum form the
backdrop to a unique area shaped by man. The valley bottom
is characterized by imposing buildings, impressive mansions
and idyllic village centers, while the sunny slopes are
dotted with scattered hamlets often set on breathtakingly
steep spots and sites. This wonderful area, shaped and
cultivated by the hands of hardworking farmers and still
boasting a great number of unspoiled spots and areas, will
greatly impress you and leave you with some unforgettable
memories.
St. Lorenzen, the gateway to the Dolomites, the green gem of
the Pustertal valley, with its pearls of Montal, Onach,
Ellen, St. Martin, Moos, Maria Saalen, Stefansdorf and
Sonnenburg. Places where you can find happy people who know
how to enjoy life. The optimal location as a gateway to the
Dolomites is only one of the countless highlights of our
market municipality - and by the way, already the ancient
Romans had recognized the ideal strategic position of this
place. Only its altitude (800 m) and climate are moderate.
Everything else is absolutely great, the landscape, the
panorama, the possibilities for hiking, recreation and
excursions, the location of the village at the foot of the
famous Kronplatz, the history and the people, and besides
many other things the warm hospitality.
