Passeggiata di Tielt (lungo la Rienza)

Along the Rienza at the foot of Brunico, the tree-lined Tielt Promenade recalls the town’s partnership with Tielt, Belgium.

Why it matters

On 11 July 1959 Brunico joined a partnership with Brignoles in France, Gross-Gerau in Germany and Tielt in West Flanders. The town council named the riverside promenade for its Belgian partner on 19 June 1975; a resolution of 6 August 1992 established the current spelling. The name records Brunico’s international ties in its public landscape.

What to notice

The Rienza rises near the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and flows through the Puster Valley. The promenade forms part of the riverside landscape below Brunico, with the slopes of Plan de Corones beyond the water.

Context and history

The 1975 naming belongs to the period when Brunico made its twinnings visible in public space. The promenade’s name connects the Rienza’s urban edge with Brunico’s postwar partnerships with other European towns.
