Wandelen in Schenna

The Wine Trail ties in with Schenna’s centuries-old tradition of winegrowing. More than 20 stations along the way tell of the work in the vineyard, share knowledge, report on historic events and reveal curious facts about the noble grape juice. Over a distance of 5.3 km, the trail leads, sometimes steeply, sometimes in leisurely fashion, through the sun-kissed terroir and in the process provides fabulous views of Schenna Castle and the spa town of Merano. The Wine Trail can be completed in a good hour and a half. However, the many attractions along the way – such as a flavour station – encourage walkers to take a little more time. Not least so that they can pay a visit to the wine cellars and farm shops, which are practically right by the trail.

In the spring, this route, on the southern slope of the Talle mountain, offers the perfect opportunity to spend the first days of the warmer months outside in the open.

Through informative texts and interactive displays the Apple Trail gives hikers a closer insight into Schenna's fruit-growing area and its history.

The descent from Talle to Verdins, via Videgg and the Streitwelder Alm, lasts approx. 3 hours and is a refreshing change, especially on hot summer days. Even when the weather is changeable, this hike takes a pleasant route which mostly goes through the Verdins forests, offering protection from the elements. The ascent to Tall is made with the Verdins cable car.

This easy, family-friendly hiking route passes through the meadows and forests around the village of Scena, and offers a pleasant walk that is especially popular among leisure hikers. 

For generations, the path through the Masulschlucht gorge was an important link between Verdins and the mountain hamlet of Videgg. Yet, the path has also been the victim of nature’s cruel game… for example, the old bridge over the gorge was ripped away by the floods in the storm decades before and completely destroyed. Since then, the newly-installed wooden bridge offers breathtaking views of the lie of the land around the Masul torrent.

Interesting sights and historic locations make this hike around Scena a special experience. Explore the area around the center of the village on this one and a half hour-long hike.

Just an easy, relatively flat walk away from the Verdins-Talle cable car mountain station lies the mountain village of Prenn. With its idyllic little church and an amazing view over the Val Passiria, Prenn is well worth a visit. The area is particularly suitable for those who like shorter hiking trails and our younger guests. Prenn also has numerous opportunities for that well-deserved pit stop so you can keep your body rested and refuelled.
