Holidays in Maranzain the footsteps of history
The territory of Maranza is an ancient settlement area. Pre-Christian settlement traces have been found behind the farm Gasslerhof. At the old footpath to Maranza there is the so-called “Alte Kuchl”, a rock niche, where shards of pre-Christian centuries were discovered. The granite lined trail from Maranza to Rio di Pusteria is a relic from the early days. A memorial called “Jungfrauenrast ” recalls a rest of the Three Virgins Aubet, and Cubet. An ancient trade route once led through the Pusteria Valley up to Swabia, and Maranza was connected via a driveway with this historic trade route.
