Italy - Eppan-Appiano - Rural chapel valley landscape

A south Tyrolean chapel above the village of Eppan-Appiano in south-west Bolzano wine-growing valley region. South Tyroleans are almost all Catholics and quite conservative - though it depends on the areas. In South Tyrol there are three indigenous wine varieties: Schiava, Gewürztraminer and Lagrein. The Überetsch (Oltradige in Italian) is a hilly section of the Etschtal in South Tyrol, northern Italy. It lies south-west of Bolzano and is a known tourist destination, famous for its wines, castles and lakes (Kalterer See, Montiggler Seen). The municipalities of the Überetsch are Kaltern and Eppan.
