Krásné turistické trasy v Meranu

The Felsenweg (Rock Trail) is a well-maintained hiking trail close to the edge of the mountain, a rather easy and flat path but you need to be sure-footed and free from giddiness. Take special care if the ground is slippery - you should avoid the hike in case of snow and ice as well as on hot summer days. After heavy rain there’s also a risk of rockfall!

The alpine path through the pastures in the Talle/Hirzer hiking area stretches from Videgg over the Stafell Alm to the Mahdalm and mostly runs above the tree line, meaning that this hike offers unforgettable views of the surrounding mountain landscape, especially in good weather. This route is especially worth trying in late-June, when the beautiful fields of Alpine roses on the southern slope are in full bloom.

This lovely, almost flat trail runs from the Taser family's mountain pasture to the peaceful Greitererhof and onwards to the Egger mountain inn, revealing wonderful views of Merano and Environs in the process.

The Knottnkino (Rock cinema) is an open-air cinema—but the only film playing is a spectacular panoramic mountain view.

In good conditions and when there’s enough (but not too much) snow, this hike can be completed without any problems. The trail is regularly maintained using a tracked snow groomer. On the farm track along the hairpin bends are clearly-marked shortcuts, but in winter these tracks are usually inaccessible or should at least be negotiated with care.

In winter some sections of the route may be covered in snow or ice.

The path is not suitable for pushchairs.
