Located on a sunny plateau in the heart of the Inn Valley, Rodengo (Rodeneck in German) is a charming village in the province of Bolzano, surrounded by an idyllic natural landscape, surrounded by mountain peaks, rolling hills, pastures and forests, a paradise for lovers by nature and long walks in the open air and oxygenating along the well-maintained footpaths. In Winter, in addition to neighbor well-equipped ski resorts, the Rodenecker is ideal for lovers of skiing.
The town's name, attested as early as 1030, has German origins but the meaning is unknown.
Nomadic herders lived in these areas since the Mesolithic, as evidenced by the discovery of flints and fragments dating back to that period. Early in the XIX century, what had been a castle began to assert itself as an independent municipality that after the First World War, came under the control of the Italian State.
