The village Spa
Taking
the cure has a long tradition in Tyrol. Since the 17th century the merchants
of Bozen, Meran and Innsbruck have been spending the hot summer days with
their families up in the hills - the custom known as "Sommerfrische." Since
the Middle Ages it has been a Tyrolean custom to recuperate in one of the
many village bathing establishments - simple barns with wooden bathtubs-
and to live it up in the adjoining inn!
