This extraordinary tour offers not only an unforgettable nature experience but also numerous health benefits. The cool night air and gentle movement strengthen the immune system, while the pure mountain air, whose high quality has been confirmed by studies from the Technical University of Munich, is particularly beneficial for the respiratory tract. The soothing sound of the waterfall and the nocturnal atmosphere promote mental recovery and stress reduction. The moderate ascent gently supports heart and circulation. Moreover, the combination of movement and fresh air can positively influence metabolism and help alleviate metabolic disorders. Last but not least, nighttime activity in nature can improve mood and regulate the sleep-wake rhythm, which can be particularly helpful for seasonal depression. A boon for the lungs, balm for soul and senses. Measured movement combined with targeted climate exposure and expert guidance for endurance and thermoregulation training lead to relaxation and recovery, but also to hardening and strengthening of the immune system. The approximately two-hour night hike leads from the center of Partschins through orchards and deciduous forests to the impressive Partschins waterfall. The path covers about 430 meters in altitude.

With Exposure Time, the association 00A - Centre for Contemporary Photography presents the second edition of contemporary photography on billboards in the public space of Merano. Exposure Time is more than just a title, it is an open field of questions: How much time do we give to seeing? How much light can memory take? When does visibility begin, and when does it become an imposition? 15 artists explore one of the central elements of photography: exposure time, the interplay of light and time. Their works, spread across 27 large-format billboards in the public space of Merano, form a polyphonic visual essay on light as a medium of perception, as a carrier of memory, as a catalyst for social reflection. The participating artists: Daniela Brugger, Günther Dichgans, Tom Eller, Werner Gasser, Massimo Giovannini, Elisabeth Hölzl, Christian Martinelli, Nicola Morandini, Letizia Molon, Viviana Perghem, Anuschka Prossliner, Marcel Rauschkolb, Andrea Salvà, Karin Schmuck, Stefan Tschurtschenthaler Curated by: Elisabeth Hölzl and Werner Gasser

From hypermodern means of transport to sustainable travel options and virtual travel experiences, the exhibition explores a variety of themes that might shape travelling in the coming decades.

Michael Höllrigl’s expressive stone and bronze sculptures will adorn the gardens of the Kränzelhof in 2025, true to his motto “The hand knows more than the head.” “Letting you dream on and on” is the goal of the sculpture exhibition. Whether it’s nearly untouched wilderness or an enchanting cultural landscape, gardens represent the longing for paradise: Tamed nature and untamed inner worlds meet and perhaps grow together. In a place shaped by the interplay of nature and culture, like the Kränzelhof, the things of nature and the things of art point to each other in a way that echoes Joseph von Eichendorff’s immortal line from the poem “Wünschelrute”: “A song sleeps in all things, which dream on and on...” Organisation Kulturverein K.art. 15.00-18.00 (free admission) Price: Garden entry

Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński's Aerolectics investigates, through an unprecedented series of works, the origins and spread on the African continent of the European Catholic missionary system and its relationship with the contemporary world. The artist explores the intertwining of history and the present, looking at the removals in collective memory in particular in relation to the African context. With a multimedia and immersive journey, made up of voids and solids, voices and silences, in which objects, narratives, sounds and images follow one another, Kazeem-Kamiński traces and investigates the experience of blackness in Europe, as perceived by the white gaze. With an autoethnographic approach and adopting a polyphonic and multimedia narrative, Kazeem-Kamiński also looks at the role played by the missionary system in South Tyrol in relation to stories of the African diaspora.

You will be inspired by unique, exceptional opals and precious stones. Light and lively with a flowing, nature-identical setting. At C+J Kurzmann, handcrafted jewellery meets artistic design. Augusto Zunin (Venezia) student Christine Kurzmann and her husband Jürgen will be presenting the latest jewellery creations with fascinating and sometimes rare opals and other precious stones as part of an appealing exhibition. For over 30 years, the passionately committed team has been combining the goldsmith's craft with artistic imagination. The result is perfectly shaped, vibrant, unique pieces full of harmony and visual lightness. With nature as a model, the flowing nature of the setting, which is carried out with an open flame, caresses the stone. At Kurzmann & Kurzmann, there are no contrived shapes, but lively, organic-looking designs with a strong expression of naturalness that emphasises this naturalness and gives the pieces their unique and unmistakable character. In an interview, Christine Kurzmann said: ‘With our jewellery treasures, we want to express a certain attitude to life that everyone would like to have: light, carefree, harmonious, multi-faceted. The enthusiasm we feel when creating our jewellery is perhaps the secret of the joy of life they are said to radiate.’ Jürgen Kurzmann has already attracted attention in specialist circles with his artefacts such as ‘Laurin’ and ‘The Key to Happiness’. His latest creation, a handbag made from a cocoa nut, horn and lapis lazuli, is currently causing a furore and can also be seen at the exhibition. Following exhibitions throughout Europe, we are delighted to be able to welcome the artist couple here. Let us inspire you too.
