LiteraTOUR

Meran/Merano, Meran/Merano and environs
from center
To mark the 30th anniversary of the Merano Municipal Library, the library and the South Tyrolean Artists' Association came up with a special gift for Merano. Ten authors have created an unforgettable monument to Merano and the people of Merano. The texts - written primarily for this literary walk - offer a new way to explore Merano's historic centre. The stories tell of underdogs as well as the glittering world of the Kurhaus, the Tappeinerweg and Powder Tower, and Merano's past.

This tour is available only in German or Italian language.

We suggest opting for comfortable footwear and bringing along a reusable water bottle, easily refillable at the fountains conveniently placed along the route. Water flows in the drinking fountains from spring to autumn. Depending on the weather and temperatures, the fountains are in operation from the beginning/middle of April to the middle/end of October.

Itinerary

While the tour can accommodate wheelchairs and pushchairs, it's important to note that part of the route is gravel and includes some slight changes in elevation. Therefore, careful consideration and planning are advisable. Additionally, the tour is well-suited for older individuals and families with children. Along the way, there are several benches where you can pause and rest.

There is no tactile guidance system or other aids for the blind on this tour.

Details
During the summer months, it's highly recommended to start your outdoor activities early in the morning. Mornings typically offer pleasant temperatures, allowing you to fully enjoy your excursion without the discomfort of intense heat. Moreover, the early hours boast fewer crowds, providing an opportunity to appreciate the city in tranquil serenity.

We strongly advise against taking this tour at the hottest times of the day, especially the section from the Steinernen Steg along the Winter promenade to the Kurhaus (points 6 to 9).

An additional tip: in summer, we also suggest this tour in the evening. The entire route is illuminated, which creates an enchanting atmosphere and the temperatures are more pleasant.

As the starting is situated within the pedestrian zone, we suggest using public transportation. From the train station, the most convenient option is to board one of the city lines (1, 4, or 5) to reach the "Meran, Theaterplatz" stop, followed by a brief 8-minute walk to the Arcades "obere Lauben".
