The wine trail

General description

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.

Route description

From the starting point of the “bacchus & pomina” themed trail in the centre of Schenna, the Wine Trail branches off along Katnauweg and Leiterweg, which – as it passes the Innerleiterhof Vineyard– leads downhill to the Maiser Waalweg path. Following the babbling irrigation channel, the trail winds along to Merano as far as Planta Castle. It then climbs up to Schenna lido along Haslerweg and Tschoigassl. Mitterplattweg then leads back to the starting point.

The wine trail is perfect for families – although they are not suitable for pushchairs.

For anyone who wants to, it is perfectly possible to hike both themed trails in one go. The Apple Trail and the Wine Trail are connected via the Rodelstein - Kampfl Kreuz - Schenna lido loop. This section is 1.6 km long and takes approximately 20 minutes longer to complete. Both trails are perfect for families – although they are not suitable for pushchairs.
