The market municipality of St. Lorenzen is situated in the middle of the Pustertal, at the confluence of Rienz and Gader. It is surrounded by maily afforested hills and wide-stretching fields, “watched over” by the Michelsburg (castle) and Sonnenburg (castle). An excursion to these two sights is a must, given that an old Roman station has been found there. The boundary stone (lat. Miles) that can be found directly next to the main country road is another indication of a former road used by the Romans to cross the Alps. Otherwise, St. Lorenzen is surrounded by many hills – ideal for long walks and forget the rest of the word. Several villages and picturesque hamlets are located nearby: Excavation of the Roman station Sebatum, which is goes far from “Schraffl-Bühel” opposite Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche (Holy Cross Church) downstream on both banks of the Rienz. Relics of dwellings, depots and troop quarters can be seen.

Roman boundary stone of Emperor M. Opellius Severus Macrinus and his son Diaduminianus at the Sonnenburg (main street, turn off direction Sonnenburg). Antiquarium at the Town Hall shows the pre- and early history of St. Lorenzen. Opening hours: Monday through Friday, 08:00 –12:00 hrs and 15:00 – 18:00 hrs. Saturday, 09:00 –12:00 hrs.
