South Tyrol, land of castles and palaces

South Tyrol and the holiday area of Merano and Environs are considered a land of castles and palaces. There are two highly impressive castles in Naturno/Naturns alone, both of which are privately owned: Hochnaturns Castle, which looms majestically over the village and Dornsberg Castle situated between Naturno and Plaus.

The following castles and mansions can be visited in the area:
- Churburg Castle in Sluderno/Schluderns boasts the largest private collection of arms and armor in Europe
- Kastelbell Castle features a courtyard, old kitchen, castle chapel and the residential wing of the former count family
- The Prince’s Castle in Merano/Meran,
- Tyrol Castle in the village of Tirolo/Dorf Tirol as the former ancestral castle of the Counts of Tyrol, which today houses the South Tyrol Museum of Cultural and Provincial History
- The Castle of the Counts of Merano features an armory, drawing room and picture gallery
- Lebensberg Castle in Cermes/Tscherms, one of the most beautiful residences in Merano and Environs.

Wenn die Temperaturen im Frühling unter 0 °C fallen, wird es ernst für die zarten Apfelblüten.🌸
Aber unsere Obstbauern sind vorbereitet! 💪🍏

💧 Mit Frostschutzberegnung überziehen sie die Blüten mit einer feinen Wasserschicht. Klingt ungewöhnlich? Funktioniert aber! Beim Gefrieren des Wassers wird Wärme freigesetzt – und genau diese schützt die Blüten! ✨ Manchmal werden auch kleine Feuerstellen 🔥 in den Obstgärten entzündet, um die kalte Luft zu vertreiben. 💨

Quando in primavera le temperature scendono sotto lo 0 °C, la situazione si fa delicata per i fragili fiori dei meli.🌸 Ma i nostri frutticoltori sono pronti! 💪🍏

💧 Con l'irrigazione antibrina, ricoprono i fiori con uno strato sottile d’acqua. Sembra strano? Ma funziona! Durante il congelamento dell’acqua viene rilasciato calore – ed è proprio questo calore che protegge i fiori! ✨ A volte vengono accesi anche dei piccoli fuochi 🔥 nei frutteti per scacciare l’aria fredda. 💨

When spring temperatures drop below 0°C, things get serious for the delicate apple blossoms.🌸
But our fruit farmers are ready! 💪🍏

💧 With frost protection sprinklers, they cover the blossoms in a fine layer of water. Sounds strange? But it works! As the water freezes, it releases heat – and that heat protects the flower! ✨ Sometimes, small fire pits🔥 are lit in the orchards to push back the cold air.💨
