    Winter hikes in Meran/Merano and environs

    During winter hikes on groomed trails, you will get to know South Tyrol's quiet side. Discover enchanting viewing points in the mountains, snow-covered forests in quiet side valleys and enjoy nature by yourself in complete silence. On snow shoes, you travel away from the ski slopes and lifts into untouched forests. This is how snowshoe hiking and winter hiking becomes a true experience.

    Round trip along the ancient "Waalweg" (irrigation channel) of Partschins/Parcines
    Partschins/Parcines, Meran/Merano and environs

    This is one of the oldest irrigation canals (Waalweg) of Merano and environs!
    It was built in the XV century by the Counts of Stachelburg and is, therefore, more than five hundred years old. The canal is lined by birch-tree groves and rich, varied vegetation and is still used to irrigate the Parcines orchards, meadows and fields. 
    An ancient “Wohnstein”, a free-standing, curved rock in whose shadow ancient people lived, and a pre-historic “Schalenstein” – a stone with strange round-shaped indentations on it, dating back to the Copper Age, can be seen at the eastern end of the Waal path.
    This particular walk is especially interesting for those interested in local history.

    Trail of Legends
    Schenna/Scena, Meran/Merano and environs

    A wooded area on the meadow track between Thurnerhof and Schenna Castle is home to scarily super legendary figures from Schenna. Kids’ imaginations will really run riot on this cross-country walk where they’ll encounter the carved figures. Mellow light suffuses the mixed woodland with chestnut trees, branches crack and rustling sounds emanate from the undergrowth... if you follow the path from Thurnerhof, where a hollow, ancient Keschtbam (South Tyrolean for chestnut tree) makes you want to play hide and seek, then that is the start of your mythical adventure. Perhaps timid forest fairies live here, or even a mischievous Nörggele. Stefan Kröll created the sculptures and - everyone who hears this is amazed - he did it with a chainsaw. All winter long he worked on the figures for his final high school graduation project at Fürstenburg Agriculture and Forestry Technical College in Burgeis, releasing giants and devils, Nörggele and a small church from pine wood. He selected six legends from the Schenna almanac, including “St. Oswald below the Ifinger”, “the Thaller Nörggele”, and “the Devil carries off a Perjuror”. The stories are told in German, Italian and English on the appealingly designed display boards. Admittedly some of the tales are rather spooky and macabre, and their content is more suitable for older children, but the figures are a delight for children of all ages, who can see what they want in them and even make up their own stories.
