Description

Cornedo all'Isarco (Karneid in German) is a town in the province of Bolzano, set on a sunny plateau, at the mounth of both the Isarco valley and the Ega one.

The place name, mentioned for the first time in 1142, probably derives from the Latin word "cornus" (cornel tree).
It was the district court of the Tyrol country since the XIII century.
