Andreas Hofer Memorial

This bronze statue dedicated to South Tyrol’s most important freedom fighter is located in a small park in front of the train station. It was erected in 1914 to commemorate the centennial of Tyrol’s return to Austria after years of Napoleonic rule.

We suggest using public transportation. The Andreas Hofer monument is a 5-minute walk from Merano train station.

From the train station, the most convenient option is to board one of the city lines (1 or 4) to reach the "Meran, train station" stop, followed by a brief 5-minute walk to the Andreas Hofer monument.

There is a spacious car park (Praderplatz) near the train station without reserved parking lots.  Attention: in a partial area there is a parking prohibition every tuesday of the year (small weekly market), while the parking prohibition covers the whole area every friday (main weekly market).
To the west of the main entrance, there is a small car parking area with 4 reserved parking lots for people with disabilities.

Bicycle parking spaces are located at the train station. Take care not to park bicycles and e-rollers carelessly. They can pose a danger to blind and visually impaired people as they create obstacles to safely walking along paths and finding entrances. People in wheelchairs and parents with pushchairs can also be hindered by carelessly parked bicycles. Please use the bicycle parking spaces provided.
