Geiselsberg ( Italian and Ladin Sorafurcia ) is a fraction of the municipality of Olang in South Tyrol ( Italy ).
The location is in the upper Pustertal on the eastern flank of the Plan de Corones at an altitude of around 1350 m , has around 400 inhabitants and is self-administered.
The location is first documented in the tradition book of the Brixen monastery in the years 1050-1065 as "Gisilhartisberc" . It is a name coinage from the early Bavarian settlement activity of the 7th or 8th century, and it means "mountain of a Geiselhart" or a "Geiselher".
The local St. Wolfgang's Church is remarkable , a slender late Gothic building with its own cemetery. The right of patronage has been exercised by the Augustinian Canons' monastery in Neustift near Brixen since 1221 . Formerly a branch church of Niederolang, the church was consecrated again in 1484 after its renovation and new construction and has been its own chaplain since 1785 .
Near Geiselsberg, at an altitude of 1,447 m, is the old, now partially dilapidated Bad Schartl spa , which Hermann von Gilm frequently visited during his stay in Bruneck between 1842 and 1845 .
Geiselsberg made administratively long time an own Oblei the Court Old lawn before it was incorporated in 1840 with the other Obleien low, Mitter-, Oberolang and Oberolang except village of Olang.
