The home of Andreas Hofer

St. Leonardo, the cultural and touristic centre of Val Passiria, is most famous for being the birthplace of Andreas Hofer. A museum in the town is dedicated to his memory. The Passeier Museum can be found in Sandhof, where Hofer was born. The museum features exhibitions about Hofer and tells the story of the Tyrolean Rebellion. In the historic village centre there is a sleepy Gothic church with a Baroque interior and above the village is the medieval Giovo castle. There is also a wide range of physical activities to try out: mountain tours, hikes, skiing and tobogganing - St. Leonardo always has something to offer.
