The authors Dr. Bernhard Abend and Anja Schliebitz give an impression of the country:
“Italy is not just a country – Italy is an attitude towards life. The country and its inhabitants represent a scale of different emotions that range from yearning for care-free life to an enjoyment of chaos and also include a thirst for knowledge or culinary cravings.”

Take a stroll in pleasant temperatures along famous promenades or over the Tappeinerweg high above the city. Whilst passing palm trees, cypresses and cork trees you cross over a old stone bridge.
The renowned spa resort of Merano is in many ways unique and always worth a visit. It is situated in a basin between Vinschgau, Etschtal and Passeiertal. Merano waits with Mediterranean temperatures and more than 250 sunny days each year. Towards the north the steep towering Ötztaler Alps offer protection against the cooler Alpine climate conditions whilst from the south the outspread Etschtal enables large air masses from the Mediterranean to stretch up to Alpine region. The particular characteristic made Merano a desirable and popular spa in the Danube monarchy. Even Empress Sissi chose Merano once as her winter domicile and resided in Trautmannsdorf Palace what can be visited today. Further sights worth seeing are for example Old Kurhaus at the summer promenade, the town theatre built in Art Nouveau or the Pulverturm (Powder Tower) from which one has a view over the entire town. The idyllic historic centre with the Laubengasse invites you to explore and linger.
Have you had enough of strolling along the promenade? Then why not explore the surrounding towns and landscape. The Vinschgau Train takes you as one can assume by the name to Vinschgau which is close by. The area around the upper reaches of the Etsch is shaped by a very attractive Alpine landscape comprising of steep slopes and tight valleys. From the other direction one is also not that far away from Bolzano which is the state capital of South Tyrol. Here one can marvel in the well known Natural Science Museum the famous man from Hauslabjoch – better known as „Ötzi“. Beyond this the countless cafés and shops invite you to wander and explore.
