Having lived in Dorf Tirol for several summers, I can highly recommend a
visit.  There is also a bust that leaves from right outside the train
station and goes up to the village.  The terrace restaurant in the Rimmele
has the most spectacular view of any restaurant I've ever visited.  Tea with
Mary de Rachewiltz is a delightful event.

Cordially,

Tim Redman

Jason:
   The cab fare is $10-$12, I THINK.  I am sorry that I don't know
exactly.  It's a good little trip up the mountain for the cab driver
with no return fare unless by some coincidence there are some students
at the castle right outside who want a taxi.
   No, you could not make a day trip up from Florence and back.  It's
just too far.  Merano is way up high near the Austrian border. Even from
Milan it's too far for a one-day round trip.
   Sorry to give bad news, but I think it's worth the extra time you
would have to take (2-3 days) before you got back on your regular
route.  I say 2-3 days because I hate to hurry when I am in gorgeous
places.
