The cultural offerings around the Birkhof are versatile! Lebenberg Castle with its armoury or the medieval Leonburg Castle as well as Tyrol Castle - the ancestral castle of the Tyroleans - is always worth a visit. The Niederlana parish church with its famous Schnatterpeck altar or the South Tyrolean Fruit Tree Museum is a cultural experience, the gardens of Trautmansdorff Castle a botanical highlight. The Merano thermal baths or a side trip to the provincial capital of Bolzano with a visit to the "Otzi Museum" are further options.
