Visit to the St. Kathrein Church
We start our journey of discovery with a cultural highlight. The St. Kathrein church in Hafling is not only a Romanesque gem, but also an optical jewel, embedded in a cinematic ambience on a lush green pasture. Indeed, what makes this church so special is its location - high above Merano with a breathtaking view of the city and the surrounding mountains. The interior is just as impressive as the harmoniously designed exterior, with well-preserved frescoes and a tranquil atmosphere that invites you to linger. St. Kathrein Church is not only a place of spirituality, but also a place where you can feel the history and beauty of the region.


Summit hike in Meran 2000 and to the new panorama platform Vista
If you love nature and like to be active, the skiing and hiking area Merano 2000 is the perfect place for you. The crisp mountain air and a fantastic view make everyday life seem a distant memory. This is not an empty phrase, but a promise! An absolute must is a hike to one of the summits and on the way back a detour to the new panoramic platform Vista. Summit strikers will find all variations here, from easy mountain hikes to a via ferrata, depending on their fitness and ambitions. And the best part? You can manage part of the ascent with the Meran 2000 cable cars. The view from the panoramic platform Vista is simply breathtaking as your gaze sweeps across the South Tyrolean mountain landscape, even to the Dolomites. Don't forget to bring your camera, because photo opportunities await here!

The Haflinger horses and the Haflinger Adventure Trail
Have you ever heard of the Haflinger horses? After all, every fourth pony in Germany is a Haflinger! These adorable horses with blond mane are named – guess what – after the village of Hafling! On the Haflinger Adventure Trail you can not only learn a lot about this breed, but also take the opportunity to experience these gentle and friendly animals up close. Petting is expressly allowed! For those who want to know even more, there are special events such as taster rides and guided riding stable tours. It is a great opportunity to experience and understand the close relationship between man and animal. The Haflinger horses are not only proud ambassadors of the region, but also a wonderful way to experience the closeness of the locals to nature.

The Knottnkino in Vöran
Our last highlight brings both art and contemplation to your adventure. The Knottnkino in Vöran is a special open-air cinema in the middle of nature. However, you will wait there in vain for a James Bond to flit across the screen, because instead of a screen, an unobstructed view of the magnificent nature awaits you. On one of the 30 steel and wooden cinema seats you can switch off and immerse yourself in the film that Mother Nature has in store for you. And it's true: it changes daily, even hourly!
Tip: A sunset at the Knottnkino (Attention: don't forget your headlamp for the way back).

Whether you are interested in culture, nature, animals or art, here you will find everything your heart desires. And the best part is that you can travel at your own pace.
