Dobbiaco / Alta Pusteria - Highlights - Gustav Mahler Music Weeks

back

“A beautiful place which surely repairs your body and soul ...” is how the famous Bohemian composer Gustav Mahler described his summer holiday resort in Dobbiaco. He spent the summer months of 1908 to 1910 at the Trenkerhof in Altschluderbach, where he created the “Ninth Symphony”, the unfinished “Tenth Symphony” and "The Song of the Earth”.

Every year since 1981 the Gustav Mahler Music Weeks have taken place in Dobbiaco during the summer months.

The majority of concerts are held in the Grand Hotel Dobbiaco, which today has become a modern cultural and conference centre and which, among other things, is home to the national park centre.

The Grand Hotel Dobbiaco cultural centre is situated opposite the Apparthotel Germania.
