Deeper Into Tscherms - Cermes
A small 13th-century Gothic church with well-preserved frescoes inside, mostly from the 14th and 15th centuries. The bell tower is a later addition. Quiet and rarely busy.
🕐 Variable; typically 08:00–18:00, often locked outside service hours
💡 The key is usually kept at the nearby Gasthof Pircher – ask at the bar if the church looks locked. Service times are posted on the door if you want to see it open.
A marked route through the vineyards of the Adige Valley, passing wine cellars and farm shops. You can stop to taste (small fee) or just walk.
🕐 Trail always open. Cellar visits usually 10am–12:30pm, 2pm–6pm; closed Sundays.
💡 Pick up a free map from the tourism office; the trail is well marked but has several forks, and you’ll want to know which cellars allow free tasters.
A short, steep walk up a hill with a small chapel and a wooden cross at the top. The reward is a panoramic view over the entire Adige Valley, from Meran to the Mendel Pass. Good photo spot at sunrise.
🕐 Always open
💡 Use the path behind the cemetery – it's marked as 'Kalvarienberg Weg' but easily missed. No railings at the top, so wear decent shoes. Allow 20 minutes up, 10 down.
A medieval castle converted into a winemaking school. You can walk around the grounds and courtyard for free, see old stone walls and a small chapel.
🕐 Grounds open daily dawn–dusk. Shop hours vary, typically Mon–Fri 9am–6pm.
💡 The school’s tasting room sells student-made wine at very low prices—stock up if you like decent, cheap Lagrein.

Final Favourites & Departure
A gentle, mostly flat walking path that follows a historic irrigation channel (waal). Runs through vineyards and orchards, with benches and shade. About 3 km on
💡 Start at the southern edge of the village, near the sports field. The path is buggy-friendly and good for a short dusk walk. No signpost at the start; look for the concrete channel alongside the dirt track.
A small but thorough museum dedicated to the history of apple and fruit cultivation in the region. Housed in a former farmstead with original tools, old presses
💡 Buy the combined ticket with Lana's museum if you plan to visit both – it's cheaper. They close for lunch (12:00–14:00), so time your visit for the morning or after 2 PM.
