Insights into exotic Mediterranean landscapes and views of the surrounding mountain chains and sun-kissed Merano: The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle comprises eighty natural and cultivated landscapes nestled into a natural Amphitheatre, a wide array of themed Gardens, and numerous Artist Pavilions and Experience Stations. Visitors find the extraordinary combination of nature, culture and art at South Tyrol's most popular attraction absolutely enchanting. The interplay of historical and contemporary architecture, a rich variety of events, and seasonal blooming throughout the course of the year all make Trauttmansdorff an experience for all five senses and for visitors of all ages. After being named Italy's Most Beautiful Garden in 2005 and Europe's No. 6 Garden in 2006, Trauttmansdorff was honored with the International Garden of the Year award in 2013, thus joining the ranks of the world's most important and beautiful Gardens and parks. The Touriseum, the spirited museum housed inside Trauttmansdorff Castle, now spotlights recent tourism history and features new exhibits about the castle's VIP guests.

These Gardens have a perfect layout to entice you to spend a day strolling the paths and inspecting all the different varieties of plants there. Highlights for us were the range of dahlias and the tropical greenhouse. It would have been nice to do the Botanical underworld in English (at the time we went the languages were alternating between Italian and German), and it's just bad luck for us that the aviary was filled with birds that we find in our back yard at home but it didn't take away from the overall experience. We were here for about 3 hours but could easily have stayed longer.

It has been ages since I visited this old castle with the most stunning view over the Etschtal. I was blown away how beautiful the castle had been renovated and how interesting the museum is. I would definitely classify it as a must see when in the area. The only criticism is that whilst everything is labeled in German and Italian, it was not in English, which is a true pity!!!!

We will need to come back , by the time we got there the tour was already over . Its a grand looking place with prize position on top of the hill . Obviously still lived in and much in use as a residence. I will have to make sure next time we don't miss out on the tour.

A beautiful spot, with wooden seats, from which you can overlook the Etsch valley and the Dolomites. The quickest way to reach it is to park near the Gasthof Alpenrose, halfway between Hafling and Vöran, and follow the signs. It's a 30 minute walk to the Knottnkino, with a couple steep points, but completely worth the effort.

Merano is great; stay by the river & you have many attractive easy walks to hand, such as the Tappeiner weg.
I recommend a wonderful circuit; first walk along the river 10-15 mins (heading upstream) to the start of the Tappeiner weg. Follow the full length of this weg - it's an easy, near flat walk on a good surface. At its end follow signs for the Waalweg Algund & take this path, which follows a narrow water channel. Again easy, near flat. When you reach a junction by a pension & see a large colour signboard mentioning Algund & Vellau go DOWN the road 200m then turn right & follow Bergweg Algund through the vineyards into the village. So far, about 2.5hrs. Now take the little chairlift up to Vellau then the cute bucket lift up to Leiteralm (note: these close at lunchtime. Then 5 mins walk at top to nice café, great views). Then either go back down the 2 lifts & take the bus back to Meran, or take the stunning Hohenweg walk along the mountain edge then return to Meran by Cable Car, then BUS (long walk otherwise) then another little chairlift. Total with lunch etc 6hrs. STUNNING!

The Hirzer area can be reached by 2 cable cars. We took the one from Verdins. On top there are lots of walks. The area is a bit quieter than Merano2000, but is less spolied by ski activites. There are still plenty of restaurants and huts available.

These are paths alongside irrigation channels, some hundreds of years old. Most are accessible by bus [choose to walk downhill!] and there is an excellent little booklet from the Tourist Office for 3 euros with maps and info - don't be put off by them being only available in German or Italian - the key info is clear - length, time, bus link, refreshment places en route etc and, of course a useful map.
An English translation is available online if you down load it before you go .....
