Museum “The Magic of Water”

Water - source of life... And exactly to this important topic an own museum is dedicated in the Valle Aurina valley which takes care of the element in an interesting way. It was opened more than a decade ago in the dower of Lappago, a little village in the Selva dei Molini Valley. The basement vault of the dower was converted into an exhibition space. After two years of travels, also the exhibition "Goodbye Glaciers" returned in 2021 to its original place and can be visited.

The place was chosen with care because water is omnipresent here: in the Valle dei Molini valley there is Lake Neves as well as numerous small lakes in the wonderful alpine world of the Valli di Tures e Aurina valleys, on the south side of the Zillertal Alps. Brooks, rivers and mills also belong to it. The impressive power of water can revitalise and destroy, can be casual or changing. This and other events on the subject of water, such as its artistic potential, can be discovered in the Museum "The Magic of Water" within a guided tour.

Directly at the museum, several thematic paths start: Path A "The Power of Water" leads to the Neves Reservoir, path B "Water and Wheel" into the interesting world of the mills, path C "Lappago Gorge-Waterfalls" through the wild Lappago Gorge and path D "Neves Mega Reservoir" rounds the artificial lake. And how to reach the Museum "The Magic of Water"? It is located in the dower in the centre of Lappago (Lappach). The village is also accessible by the bus no. 451 from Campo Tures. On foot, the pleasant valley hike in the Valle di Selva dei Molini takes you to Lappago.
