Nature and cultural guides in Merano and Environs

For several years, there has been a growing interest in the practical - and almost forgotten - traditional lore about medicinal plants, handicrafts, food, and lifestyle. Our natural and cultural guides Traudl Schwienbacher, Dr. Markus Breitenberger, Dora Somvi and Karl Perfler will gladly support you along the way.

Power by Nature

Even the ancient philosophers knew that the body, mind and soul form one entity: that everything is interconnected even though everything is always changing. In our modern everyday lives, however, we dedicate too little time to ourselves and often fall out of balance.

The forces of nature can help us regain our inner balance. There are no other times of day quite so magical as dawn and dusk.
Enjoy the atmosphere of an evening at the Knottenkino rock cinema on the Rotsteinkogl above Verano (Vöran) or an early morning hike up Ivigna (Ifinger) Mountain to catch sunrise at the summit.

Visit prehistoric and historical places of worship and pilgrimage sites: Marienbrunnen in Hütt, San Ippolito (St. Hippolyt) at Glaiten in Val Passiria (Passeiertal) Valley, San Maurizio (St. Moritz) in Ultimo (Ulten), San Giorgio (St. Georg) in Versain or the Stoanernen Mandln in Meltina (Mölten), the little church of San Giorgio (St. Georg) in Scena (Schenna) or the Giogo della Croce (Kreuzjoch) in Verano (Vöran).

Take advantage of an opportunity for better self-awareness and development at the Kränzel Labyrinth Garden in Cermes (Tscherms).
