St. Hippolyt in Naraun

The stone church stands at 750 meters altitude on the edge of the Tisner plateau, offering views across twenty villages and forty castles.

First documented in 1288, the church site contains archaeological evidence of human settlements dating back approximately 4000 years through discovered Neolithic tools.

The church structure demonstrates the regional architectural characteristics of South Tyrol, combining religious elements with the mountain building traditions.

Visitors can reach the church through multiple hiking trails from Naraun, Völlan, Niederlana, or Tisens, with parking available at the designated St. Hippolyt area.

Near the church, ancient bowl stones and a fertility slide carved into the rock reveal the location's significance as a prehistoric ceremonial site.
