The Spring Valley blossoms

The forest of Montiggl is one of the most beautiful sites in our country: the Montiggler lakes and some smaller marshes (eg. Langmoos, Purzelmoos) are glacial in origin. The two Montiggler lakes and about 100 acres of forest are designated as habitats. The forest area is located between the fruit-growing area of the Adige Valley and the wine country Überetsch. The plant communities range from white oak woods and pines to forests of spruce and fir. Particularly rich in species (eg. beech, chestnut, lime, cherry tree) are the shady areas with tritious grounds.
