South Tyrol

Located in South Tyrol, this quaint church sits atop the rolling, emerald green hills that are beneath the jagged peaks of the dolomites. The place of worship has been around since the 14th-century and as it basks in the heavenly glow of sunset, visitors from near and far come to see the picture-perfect scene in all of its glory.

This image was taken on a grassy hill that overlooks the south-facing view of Chiesa di Santa Maddalena and the dolomites. To get this perspective, reference the GPS coordinates and you'll find the exact spot where I stood to capture the church and mountains. Please make sure to respect the landowners properties and only stay on public grounds. Park your car at Fermeda Parkplatz (46.641600, 11.712395) and then it'll be a 20-minute walk (1.2km) to the lookout. There isn't any parking once you get into the village, so parking in the Fermeda Parkplatz will be one of your only options. From Fermeda Parkplatz: - Head north toward Bergerweg - Turn right onto Bergerweg - Turn left onto Trebich - Turn left onto S. Maddalena/Trebich - Continue onto Magdalenaweg - Slight right onto S. Maddalena/Magdalenaweg - Turn right onto Magdalenaweg - Turn left to stay on Magdalenaweg - Slight left to stay on Magdalenaweg
