navigation The picturesque Burgeis is located in the upper Vinschgau below the Watles mountain (2557 m) on the upper reaches of the Adige. At the foot of the largest cone of rubble in Europe, the Malser Haide, lies the tranquil village of Burgeis, which is immediately recognizable as a Rhaeto-Romanic clustered village. The village developed from a few self-sufficient farms in the typical Rhaeto-Romanic settlement structure. The tranquil Haufendorf is located where the young Etsch flows through green, lush meadows which, thanks to natural management, provide healthy feed for the cows. Here every cow still has its name!
