Hiking

Gaulpromenade

Niederlana/Lana di Sotto, Lana, Meran/Merano and environs
The Gaul Gorge in Oberlana, is a promenade that follows the roaring course of the Falschauer through rugged rock walls of quartz porphyry, gneiss and granite.
from center

The first leisure promenade in Lana was developed into an extended trail in 1888/89 by the then Teiss landlord, Alois Stauder. From the center of the village of Lana in just a few minutes you will find yourself suddenly surrounded by the "wild" nature of the enchanting Gaulschlucht gorge; splashing water, peace & quiet, steep rock faces and rope bridges.

 

Itinerary

Starting from the Teiss bridge in the center of Lana we walk along the Gaulpromenade towards Braunsberg Castle (Ultental Valley). The first part of the Promenade runs flat, on tarmac, past well-tended gardens and resting places as far as the large fairground (in winter an ice rink). The path then continues through a small tunnel though the rock into the wildly romantic Gaulschlucht; the forest track is not asphalted, however it is broad and flat. We next walk over a wooden bridge past the waterfall and in a few minutes reach the rope bridge that leads to the sluice on the stream. The route ends in front of a narrow opening in the rocks, which has been closed for safety reasons.
