*15:30 - Discover the City! Guided Tour of the City Centre
📍 Universitätsplatz 1-Piazzetta dell'Università 1
Bruneck-Brunico, the town on the Rienz-Rienza River, is located 835 meters above sea level, has about 17,000 inhabitants, and consists of six districts. The town is still the economic and cultural centre of the Puster Valley today. And as such, it has a lot to offer: museums, tourist attractions, beautiful merchant houses with colourful facades that take you back in time. But also cozy bars and restaurants.
The activity will only take place if the minimum number of participants is reached. In case of bad weather, the activity will be cancelled.

The MMM Ripa is dedicated to the mountain peoples of the world.
