In Merano and Environs as well as around South Tyrol, there are a variety of
thematic trails, offering not only beautiful walks and fantastic views – but also at the same time share information about specialized local aspects, traditional agricultural products, local legends and unique flora and fauna.
In Naturns, the
Jesus Besinnungsweg trail (Jesus Meditation Trail) stands out in particular, being unique of its kind in South Tyrol. This trail was designed as a circular route on the Nörderberg Mountain, with 15 stations inviting hikers to linger and contemplate. The Naturns section of the Vinschgau wine trail
"Via Vinum Venostis", which focuses on the old winegrowing tradition of the lower Vinschgau Valley, was recently completed.
