• Corvara to Bolzano

    September 28, 2025 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F

    The trip from Corvara to Bolzano boasted more beautiful scenery. At one point we saw paragliders!
    When we arrived in Bolzano we checked into our hotel, rested a bit and then went to the South Tyrolean Museum of Archeology to see the Ice Man. We were able to look through a window and see the actual mummy (in a temperature and light controlled space) as well as everything they found with him! They don't let you take pictures on the exhibit floor but they have a re-creation of what he probably looked like that I was allowed to take a picture of. When he died he was wearing a lot more clothing including a bearskin coat and hat (they found the hat completely intact) and carrying a lot of gear (full backpack, bow and full quiver of arrows, etc.) If you're interested, I highly recommend looking him up.
