The Rienza River is all that separates "Lorenzn", the main village of the market town of San Lorenzo di Sebato, from the main road through the Val Pusteria valley. From there, the signs for the pharmacy and the Hotel Mondschein point the way to the centre. There, shops, cafés and facilities such as the library and the Museum Mansio Sebatum are clustered around the Parish Church of Saint Lawrence, with its two dissimilar towers. The village was already known in Roman times.

A millennium later, Sanctum Laurentium reappeared in records, particularly in connection with two nearby castles: Badia Castle and San Michele Castle, one of the oldest castles in historic Tyrol. Sebatum: This name, recorded in an ancient list of the most important Roman imperial roads, puzzled historians for a long time. At first, the waystation was thought to be in the Valle Isarco, but the theory of German historian Theodor Mommsen, who placed it near San Lorenzo (Sankt Lorenzen), was eventually confirmed. The excavations were successful.

The remains of a Roman road, houses with underfloor heating, and the famous gold coin treasure were gradually uncovered. The most important finds can be seen today in the aforementioned Museum Mansio Sebatum in the centre of San Lorenzo. Away from the through-traffic of the Val Pusteria, the Legend Trail is a lovely place for a walk - a family hike featuring fascinating stories.

Cyclists on the Pusterbike Cycle Path also enjoy stopping in San Lorenzo for an ice cream or a coffee. In the surrounding area, there is also a children's playground, tennis courts and a multi-purpose court for volleyball, badminton and football. In winter, you will find an ice-skating rink in the village and a ski bus that will quickly take you to the lifts of the Plan de Corones Skiing Area.
