Meran , Dorf Tirol , Schenna , Verdins considered to be strongholds of tourism in South Tyrol . Find holiday-seeking in the Meraner Land Southern flair combined with a beautiful South Tyrolean landscape.
Since we both, today on the Easter Saturday, have no desire on snow, but rather want to enjoy the warm spring sun, We decide the Path to bewandern in Aktion above the spa town of Merano.

Path in Aktion
Schenna equal is on like Dorf Tirol about Merano approximately 600 Metres above sea level. The two holiday villages form the gateway to the traditional Food Valley. Village Tirol left and Schenna followed by Verdins right of the Valley.
Who here Holiday would like to make is. Schenna , Dorf Tirol and Merano offer an extremely high density 4 Star hotels, I think even one of the highest in Europe.
The Schenner path
Of course we could start off on the Scena from, but we decide our car at the car park which still Ifinger cable car, on the road to Avelengo, turn off and from there to make a circular walk.
To 11.30 Clock go. We start at the bottom station of the Ifinger cable car, cross the road and follow the really excellent directions St . George . The Hiking trail can easily as Walk be described. We walk so along the Schenner Waalwege path first on a gravel road, passing a farm and then enter in the forest. Now we are on a Forest path. The Waal (Open, 30 x 30 cm in the cross section of large water channel, which is used for the irrigation of Apple plants) can we not see while still, but after a short time changes. Unfortunately still no water leads the Waal. In a few weeks that will be but certainly different.
Left, it was now down to St. George of a group of Schenna. We remain on the Schenner path and looking down always left again to Merano and Dorf Tirol or. over . Via Tirolo, you can the steep nice Spirit stables see , where to me last year a other hike has led to.
Up close, we now see Scena with two mighty buildings. The left building seems to be the Church, is for a so small village quite powerful and beautifully presented. The right building is Schloss Schenna.
Castle Schenna, Schenna
The magnificent Schloss is owned the is but still publicly accessible. That Schloss Schenna was 1350 from Petermann instead of Schenna Castle Schenna built in. At that time was of the last Countess of Tyrol Tirol. Various noble families were owners of the Castle. The Archduke Johann bought last to 1845 Castle Schenna and left it to his descendants the counts of Tyrol, which owns it today is.

Schloss Schenna
The Path is apparently newly repaired. A short piece is a site that we have to deal. Behind it we can fine the, Porphyry stone from paved, new Waal (Water channel) see . The forest runherum is bad by particularly heavy last winter. Time and again both spruce and pine cross our path. You have but Hiking trails already carefully cut out, so that you must never stoop.
The variety is interesting in the Schenner path. Recently we were in the forest, Now we walk through Apple systems the path along and can contact us at the free view of Dorf Tirol with the farms of the courage and the courage Center, enjoy riffian and the whole Meraner Land.
13.00 Watch , the stomach growls. We already have the Schenner path behind us. We are nevertheless, After the valley station of the Taser cable car in the North, on the road, further gone on forest paths. Left among us, we see an inviting, Sunny refreshment stop possible: the Köstenthaler Hof.
Köstenthaler Hof
Let us face the Sun, both on the same side of a powerful Holztisches, down and order. Much deserved we did not have us today, because the path was not at all. Quickly on the way we were not due to the great views also. We have not burned so certainly many calories. Nevertheless – We are hosted by a very friendly and are completely satisfied with the quality and the price/performance ratio.
Farm path on Verdins and Schenna
After lunch our current is Hiking tour or rather the today's walk along the little street a short distance further, before we turn right into a meadow or. high walk. We are now on the Court Road, the us on several Farms usually also Snack bars or Inns past.
We wandern now in southern approximately 200 until 300 Meters above the be back. Also, this trail is quite varied: Once it goes through then forest, then you step back to a meadow, in the middle there is a farm, addition.
The last piece of the path takes us on a gravel road to the excavation of a pit. Here we leave the unmade road and go down the hiking trail no.. 24 up behind to Castle Vernaun. Among them is the first farm that we have already happened on the way. We are thus at the beginning of today's Path walk reached.
The Path in Aktion is varied. You can it quite beautifully by one Circular hike expand. Countless hiking trails dot the area around Schenna. Convince yourself and trace Schenna near Meran.

After I have removed the promise the best friend of all, that I must not even in a business into it and that it is not long will take, I leave wide strike me. We go about so Obermais to Meran down and parking in the underground garage under the Merano thermal baths.
Sweaty with the hiking boots on his feet, we go over the pedestrian bridge over the Passer over on the East side of the River, where is the Promenade and behind the arcades which are Shoppingmaile.
I choose to wait while the best friend of all crashes into the shopping experience at the promenade. I can the flair, the in a Osterblumenbracht located Spa town, Unable to escape. Merano is fully known as spa town to right. In contrast to the narrow and rather rear capital Bolzano tables presented to Meran with lots of space, Greenery, Calm, an authentic southern Holiday flair. In every nook and cranny, it blooms. Which Merano urban gardener did a great job. A huge flickering snake, a funny Dolphin, a colourful Woodpecker, a pianist made witness everything from plants of the craftsmanship of the Merano gardener. Unfortunately, I have doing only the mobile phone camera:

Sea of flowers at Easter in Meran
As expected fails to meet the best friend of all the promise of half an hour. I therefore decide after a coffee, slightly up and down to a walk along the promenade and the mobile phone camera test.
In love turtelnde couple on each second Bank along the promenade, fully staffed ice-cream parlours, Leisure, free from stress and daily life. Merano radiates pure holiday feeling now at Easter.
After good 2 Hours decided then still the best friend of all to finish your shopping tour. While she are talking about shopping in Meran and I am of the Merano flair we cross the passer together, Enter the square in front of the Spa Meran and then climb down in the underground car park to the car.
