Montiggl ( Italian Monticolo ) is a village in the Überetsch and a fraction of the municipality of Eppan in South Tyrol ( Italy ) with around 100 inhabitants.
Montiggl is located in the center of an agricultural area covered with orchards and vineyards in the Montiggl Forest on the Mitterberg .
history
Historically, the village belonged to the former Altenburg court , but since the 15th century the agricultural rights of use have repeatedly led to conflicts between the large communities of Appiano and Kaltern . Montiggl is already in the so-called " Vigiliusbrief ", a documentary record of the bishops of Trent in the 11th century, which is based on templates yet from the 9th century, when " Admonticlo called". The originally Romanesque name means "small mountain, small elevation". Named residents of the place are first tangible in 1337 with the couple Ullin and Adelheid from " Muntikel ".
Nature and sights
To the north-east of the small town are two bathing lakes - the Large and Small Montiggler Lake - in the middle of a nature reserve .
At Montiggl there is also the entrance to the Fabion valley, also known as the spring valley, which attracts many hikers, especially in spring , from mid-February, as it is already in full bloom at this early point in time.
