The Knottnkino in Vöran/Verano is a lookout point. It's outfitted with thirty cinema seats, where the hikers can take a seat and enjoy the unique experience. The site overlooks the whole of the Adige Valley so visitors enjoy stunning views that encompass the Texelgruppe Mountains, Mount Penegal, and even Weißhorn farther afield.
