Castelfeder

Castelfeder is a multi-jointed porphyry hill in the South Tyrolean lowlands in mining above Auer . Remains of prehistoric , Roman and early medieval settlements testify to its strategic location. The "upper castle" rises some 150 meters above the valley floor and is located on 405 m slm . Today Castelfeder is a protected habitat . Font: Wikipedia (translation by Google).

Today I met His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

These days Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, is visiting South Tyrol. He was invited by the South Tyrolean Governor Dr. Luis Durnwalder, in order to receive the "South Tyrolean minorities award".

I met him shortly before the ceremony, took a picture and greeted him.

Outside, a group of activists for minorities rights showed a slogan "TIBET is not China."
