geography

View of St. Felix

The community of Our Lady in Walde-St. Felix is located in the uppermost Val di Non , more precisely on the Deutschnonsberg , as the German-speaking area of the otherwise Italian-speaking valley that belongs to South Tyrol is called. The southern border of the municipality is also the provincial border with Trentino . The two villages of Our Lady in the Forest ( 1350 m ) and St. Felix ( 1250 m ; seat of the municipal administration) are located on the slopes of the Nonsberg Group below the Gampen Pass ( 1518 m ), which provides a transition into the Adige Valley . In the northwest, the municipality of Laugen ( 2434 m ) finds its highest point; in the east it reaches the densely wooded northern foothills of the Mendelkamm . There is also the Felix pond ( 1604 m ).

history

View of Our Lady in the Forest

Our Lady in the Walde and St. Felix belonged to the County of Tyrol and thus to Austria-Hungary until the end of the First World War . With the Treaty of Saint-Germain , both villages came to Italy in 1920, along with most of Tyrol south of the main Alpine ridge . When the two provinces of Bolzano and Trento emerged in these formerly Austrian areas in 1927, Our Lady in the Forest and St. Felix, as well as the other communities of the Deutschnonsberg, were added to the predominantly Italian-speaking province of Trento. It was not until 1948 that the two villages were incorporated into the province of Bolzano and South Tyrol, respectively, where they were merged into a common municipality in 1974.
