On the right bank of the Adige River, on the southern edge of the municipality of Lagundo, lies the Foresta (Forst). The village's houses stand somewhat in the shadow of two dominant buildings: Foresta Castle and the Forst Brewery. The latter is ubiquitous in South Tyrol and is even one of the most modern breweries in Europe. As the largest brewery in the region, it exports its beer to numerous countries. Distinctive features of Forst beer, brewed here for five generations, are the spring water used and the natural ice-storage method.

The Forst World includes the brewery garden and the Braustüberl tavern, connected by the characteristic covered bridge over the road, familiar to anyone who has driven from Merano to the Val Venosta. Adding to this is the historic Schlosswirt restaurant with its Luisl Stube, which has received accolades from gourmet institutions such as the Michelin Guide, Gault&Millau, Gambero Rosso, Guide de l'Espresso, and the Falstaff Guide.

In winter, the Forst World transforms into the atmospheric Forst Christmas Forest with bonfires and a specially brewed limited-edition Christmas beer. The second prominent building, Foresta Castle, greets you as you enter the village. It was built around 1300 AD and is shrouded in legends. The minstrel Oswald von Wolkenstein is said to have been held captive here by his lover, Sabina Jäger. It is also said that the ghosts of two brothers who once died in a dispute haunt the castle.

Opposite, on the other bank of the Adige River, is the Lagundo sports centre with its Lido. Today, numerous hiking trails lead past the village, including the popular Marlengo Waalweg path.
