Selva dei Molini, hiking among the Molini Valley

Selva dei Molini lies in the Tures valley inside a basin that runs from Campo Tures to the Italian-Austrian border, exactly to the north of Brunico which is situated in Alta Pusteria valley. It is surrounded by the Zillertaler Alps, whose glaciers have always supplied the area below with water, that defined the village's former economy. Besides satisfying those who love local history it also guarantees a lot of entertainment for those enjoying holidays among the mountains, both in summer and in winter.

During summer it is a popular destination for the walking tours that describe the history of old crafts connected to the use of water: the well-known tracks of Valle dei Molini, 4 itineraries along Selva dei Molini and Lappago, the suburb that lies closer than others to Italy's border with Austria.
