Vinschgau
The Vinschgau (Italian Val Venosta) is the valley of the upper Adige in South Tyrol, northern Italy, running from the Reschen Pass down to Merano. A route between the Alpine passes and Italy since Roman times, it was disputed in the Middle Ages between the bishops of Chur and Trent and the counts of Tyrol, who eventually prevailed. Its monuments include the Benedictine abbey of Marienberg and the castle of Churburg.
