Things to Do in Tscherms - Cermes

A flat, paved walking path along the former irrigation channel, with views over orchards and vineyards towards the Texel Group mountains. Benches along the way.

🕐 Open 24 hours.

💡 Bring binoculars in early evening—you’ll spot deer and hares feeding in the meadows below.

A large public park with a children's playground, open grassy areas, and picnic tables. You get good views of the surrounding apple orchards and mountains without walking far from the village centre.

🕐 Always open

💡 Go in late afternoon when the light hits the Texelgruppe peaks. Bring your own snacks; the nearest shop is a 5-minute walk east on Hauptstrasse.

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 one way to Lana.

🕐 Always open

💡 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 14th-century Gothic church with a tall bell tower visible across the valley. Inside, notable frescoes and a carved altarpiece show local religious art.

🕐 Daily 8am–6pm; closed during services.

💡 Go on a Sunday morning if you want to hear the organ played during mass; the acoustics are excellent.

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 small museum in a historic house displaying rural tools, folk costumes, and wine-making equipment from the 18th and 19th centuries.

🕐 Wed and Fri 2pm–5pm; closed otherwise.

💡 It’s only open a few afternoons a week—check the town noticeboard or ask at the café. Free, but a small donation appreciated.

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, and orchards outside. Entry fee is about €5.

🕐 Tue–Sun 09:30–12:00 & 14:00–17:00; closed Mon (except public holidays)

💡 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.

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.
