Living city history
In order to preserve Mücheln's history as a mining town, the old post office was converted into an information centre with a regional museum. During a guided tour or a tour with the night watchman you will hear amusing and exciting things about Mücheln's past. Descend into the vaulted cellar of the town hall, where the Müchelner beer was once stored, which many a citizen had fallen for. Listen to the story about the last great fire in 1718 and the legendary role beer played in it.
Also visit the baroque garden, the landscape park with the moated castle in Ortisei as well as the Geiselquelle, the Romanesque church and the landscape conservation area around St. Micheln.
Even more exciting stories are told by the Sagestones, which can be found at numerous locations in the Geiseltal and are just waiting to reveal their secret.
