Partschins / Parcines
Peter Mitterhofer Cultural trail
Due to the limited parking facilities in the municipality of Parcines and in the spirit of sustainability, as well as the protection of the Parcines recreational area, we ask you to use public transport. Thank you very much!
This cultural circular walk combines nature, local history and the history of technology. The route is dedicated to Peter Mitterhofer, a native of Partschins and inventor of the typewriter, and leads past his birthplace as well as the museum dedicated to him in the village centre. Historic paths, quiet village streets and cultural landmarks accompany the walk through Partschins, Rabland and Vertigen. Thanks to its mostly level route, the walk is ideal for families and suitable for buggies.
