Typewritermuseum "Peter Mitterhofer"

In 1998, in remembrance of its famous citizen Peter Mitterhofer, inventor of the typewriter, the municipality of Parcines has set up a museu.
With over 2000 objects, of which 400 are shown in the exhibition and about 1600 in a special showroom, the museum gives a good understanding of over 120 years of history of the typewriter, starting with its invention by Peter Mitterhofer in 1864 up to the 80's of the 20th century when the computer definitely replaces the typewriter..

The Gardens of Castle Trauttmansdorff and the Touriseum

The Gardens of Castle Trauttmansdorff - on the eastern edge of Meran / Merano - are an absolute "must-see." They are bordered by a forest of holm oaks, and extend over more than twelve hectars (30 acres). You'll find plants from the world over here. And be sure to visit the Touriseum, too – you'll learn a lot about the history of tourism in South Tyrol.
