Gustav Mahler Music Weeks in Dobbiaco

The famous composer Gustav Mahler used to spend most of his holidays in Altschluderbach, a hamlet which is only a stone's throw from Dobbiaco in Val Pusteria. The artist used to spend the summer months in the "Trencker" house, a wooden hut embedded in the marvellous nature of the area where also several animals lived.
