Bozner Bergsteigerlied

The Bozner Bergsteigerlied (English: Bozen mountaineer song) is one of the two unofficial hymns of the South Tyroleans, the other being the Andreas-Hofer-Lied.

Its lyrics were composed in 1926 by Karl Felderer in Moos am Ritten to the melody of an old Tyrolean craftsmen's song.

Therefore, the lyrics never mention South Tyrol directly, referring instead to its geographical extension.

In the first verse, its north–south extension is described by the way of the Eisack source and the Salurner Klause, a bottleneck which used to mark the border between the German and Italian-speaking area.

In the following verses, various landmarks of South Tyrol such as the Schlern and the Rosengarten group are celebrated.
