I drove from Graz, Austria west to Salzburg, where I spent
a very nice day and night. I then continued west into the southern part of
Germany,
then south through Innsbruck and into northern Italy, where I spent three days
in Bolzano, followed by two nights in Turin and two nights in Venice.
As I drove through a valley in the Alps, with the mountains rising up from
either side,
I passed many beautiful towns and villages, each clearly marked by a tall
church steeple or bell tower. I also saw many castles perched on high hills
and
mountain outcroppings. I loved it.
In Bolzano, I took a cable car high over the city to San Genesio, where I
began an
all day hike through beautiful mountain meadows. I could look down and see
beautiful Bolzano nestled in a valley of the Alps. This is wine country and
looking down from the cable car I saw a multitude of vineyards. Bolzano also is home to Oetzi, the ice man. Oetzi is a prehistoric man found perfectly preserved in the Alps. He has taught us more about prehistoric man than anything found before or since. I hope you enjoy my photos of Italy.
