Überetsch-Unterland (Italian: Oltradige-Bassa Atesina [olˈtraːdidʒe bass ateˈziːna]; German: Überetsch-Unterland) is a district (Italian: comprensorio; German: Bezirksgemeinschaft) in the southern part of the Italian province of South Tyrol. It comprises the valley of the Adige river from Bolzano in the north to Salorno in the south.
Overview
The hilly Überetsch region, i.e. the municipal areas of Eppan and Kaltern, forms the northwestern part of the district, while the larger Unterland stretches down the Adige to the border with the Trentino province. The district also comprises the municipalities of Andrian and Terlan north of Überetsch.
Main economic factors are viticulture along the South Tyrolean Wine Route from Terlan to Salorno, fruit growing and tourism.
According to the 2011 census, 64% of the population of the valley speak German, 35.5% Italian and 0.5% Ladin as mother language.[1]
