Spinga is a small sunny village above the Valle Isarco and Val Pusteria at 1,105 m a.s.l. and has 290 inhabitants. The village was first mentioned around 1174 but gained popularity thanks to a battle which took place some centuries later.

During this famous battle, the Schützen, a local military group, fought against the Napoleonic troops. Katharina Lanz, a local hero normally represented with a pitchfork, gave proof of her immense courage when she defended her village with a pitchfork from the cemetery wall.
Some historical gems you shouldn't miss are the St. Rupert parish church, the cemetery chapel from the 17th century, the hero's monument and the bunker built during fascism.

Sports lovers can undertake fascinating hikes and MTB tours in all seasons. The Anratter hut in Spinges is always worth a visit. It was elected "best mountain hut of the year" for two consecutive years. Here, children can have fun on the playground and at the small educational farm where farm animals are looking forward to being stroked by them and the other visitors. The hut also offers delicious local dishes.
