Perca

Perca, only 5 km from Brunico. The whole area is ideal for choosing one of the many excursions on offer. It is located in a quiet and sunny area between 950 m above sea level at the Rienza river up to 2500 m in the mountainous area (Natural Park of the Vedrette di Ries).

Perca is situated on a glacier mass of the Rienza dating back to the ice age. A mile stone outside the parish church gives evidence of the presence of the Romans.
