Arrive & Explore the Highlights
A 15th-century Gothic church with a pointed spire, frescoed interior and a carved wooden altar. Quiet, cool, and rarely crowded. The crypt holds Romanesque stone fragments.
🕐 Mon-Sat 8:00-18:00, Sun 9:00-17:00
Free entry💡 Check the south wall for a faded fresco of St. Christopher, dating from 1480. The church is unlocked daily until 6pm, but the side door is sometimes open earlier.
Hotels near St. Peter und Paul Parish Church →A well-maintained, mostly flat cycle path running south from Latsch along the valley floor. Passes apple orchards, small villages and the old railway line. Great for bikes or walking.
🕐 Open 24 hours
Free entry💡 The path is free and open to all. Rent a bike at Hotel Goldener Pflug for €15/day. The ride to Kastelbell (4km south) takes 20 minutes and ends at a medieval castle open for free entry on Tuesdays.

Deeper Into Latsch
A gentle, flat walking path along the Etsch River through meadows and woodland, with mountain views and wooden benches. Heads past old irrigation channels and small waterfalls.
🕐 Open 24 hours
💡 Start at the church square and follow signs to Tarrenz. The full loop takes 45 minutes — best early morning for birdlife or late afternoon for light on the peaks.
Small local museum in a restored farmhouse showing traditional Vinschgau life: tools, kitchenware, old photographs, and a wine press from 1800. Modest but authentic.
🕐 Jun-Sep: Tue & Thu 14:00-17:00; Oct-May: closed
💡 Free entry is actually 'suggested donation' of €3, but you can walk in without paying. Open only during peak season (June-September) and on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Phone ahead to confirm — the volunteer curator sometimes closes early.

Final Favourites & Departure
A free grassy riverbank with small pebble beach, calm swimming spots, and shallow water for kids. No lifeguard but very safe in summer. Shaded by old willows.
💡 Go on a weekday morning — locals bring picnics. The best entry point is behind the sports field. No facilities, so bring water and a towel.
