THE PLATTNER BIENENHOF

The Plattner Bienenhof is about 600 years old and can be considered one of the most picturesque farms in South Tyrol. At the end of the 1980's the Gramms, a business family from Bozen restored the farm over a period of about four years, as the farm had had no work done to it during the whole of the 20th century.

The farm is now a museum for apiculture, where you can find an extensive collection of objects concerning historical apiculture. The living quarters of the farm have been restored to their original form and provide the visitor with an insight into the life of alpine farmers in days gone by. Nearly all of the exposed objects are original articles of which were used in everyday life and now bear witness to the old, ancient agricultural life in South Tyrol. Outside the visitor can admire a typical farm garden and a pond and, last but not least, enjoy unspoilt nature, peace and quiet and the unforgettable view of the Ortler to the Dolomites.
