Panoramic winter hike to the Lüsen Alps, possible stop on the Alpine Hut Kreuzwiesen Alm and slegde descent on the forest road.
Partir pour une randonnée hivernale, sur des sentiers parfaitement tracés, c'est découvrir le côté paisible du Sud-Tyrol. Points de vue enchanteurs dans les Dolomites, forêts enneigées dans les tranquilles vallées voisines, dans la région du Kronplatz... Les endroits ne manquent pas où vous pouvez profiter de vous-même et de la nature, dans un silence absolu. En raquettes, vous vous éloignerez des pistes de ski et des remontées mécaniques pour découvrir des forêts encore totalement préservées. Mais, que ce soit en raquettes ou à pied, randonner en hiver dans le Sud-Tyrol sera toujours une expérience inoubliable.

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.
