The holiday village Rio Pusteria (Mühlbach) lies at the beginning of the famous Val Pusteria valley at 775 m above sea level and is surrounded by meadows and coniferous forests.
The historical centre has a pretty market place, nice alleys, cafes and shops.
The parish church St. Helena and the cemetery chapel with beautiful late-Gothic frescos of Friedrich Pacher are worth visiting.

An eye-catcher is also the so called Rio Pusteria chasm, a former roadblock with a curtain wall of the 12th century. Today it has decayed, but a few years ago the main road still went through it.

From Rio Pusteria a cable car takes you directly up to Maranza, a great starting point for sunny walks and hikes in the summer on one of the various walking paths or hiking trails.

In winter the holiday region Gitschberg-Jochtal is a popular ski resort offering wonderful skiing holidays for the whole family, with great slopes for skiers and snowboarders and also a tobogganing/sledging run.
