Merano

Alpine-Mediterranean spa town

On October 16, 1870, Merano witnessed a historic moment: Empress Elisabeth of Austria, better known as Sisi, arrived in the city by the Passer River with her entourage of 102 people. The recently opened Brenner railway brought the Empress to Trauttmansdorff Castle, where maids, governesses, ladies-in-waiting, and many other servants were in her service for months.

During her stay, Sisi enjoyed the mild air of Merano, going for walks, horseback riding, and hiking, all while hoping for the recovery of her ailing daughter, Marie Valerie, who soon regained her health. The arrival of the Empress brought new glory to the spa town of Merano, founded in 1836, and thrust it into the spotlight of the European aristocracy. Although Dr. Bernhard Mazegger Sr. had already established the first guesthouse, "Freihof," in 1840, it was the imperial visit that marked the definitive breakthrough.

Soon, wealthy travelers, spa guests, and the elite from across Europe – from America to Russia – flocked to Merano. Over the decades, magnificent villas were built, along with the famous Kurhaus, the city theater, and the spa house. In 1873, the city’s streets were illuminated by gas lighting, casting Merano in a new light. Merano became not only renowned as a healing spa destination but also a fashionable retreat for those seeking luxury, health, and culture. The city now stood as a symbol of elegance, wellness, and worldly charm.

Visita guidata nel bunker sul sentiero della roggia di Marlengo! 🧐🌿

Dopo il 1945, molti bunker rimasero operativi durante la Guerra Fredda fino alla loro dismissione negli anni '90 e il successivo trasferimento alla Provincia di Alto Adige. Alcune di queste strutture difensive sono di grande importanza storica e offrono oggi uno sguardo unico sulla loro architettura.

Il bunker sulla Tel è stato acquisito dai comuni di Lagundo e Marlengo ed è ora accessibile per visite guidate.

📍 Come arrivare: In auto o in treno
🚗 Parcheggi disponibili presso la stazione di Tel
🚶‍♂️ Circa 10 minuti a piedi fino all’ingresso del sentiero della roggia di Marlengo + altri 5 minuti fino al bunker

👉 Info e prenotazione obbligatoria su www.meinticket.it
🧥 Non dimenticare una giacca – nel bunker fa freddo!

Marlinger Stangenkäse MARNEA🧀

With the Marlinger Stangenkäse “Marnea”, a true classic is making its comeback!😉

Many still remember the unique taste of this semi-hard cheese in the style of Tilsiter, which was appreciated for decades for its exceptional quality.
After the Marling dairy closed in 1971, this local specialty gradually faded into obscurity.

Today, it is being lovingly revived by the Latteria Sociale di Castelfondo and is available at selected locations, including Center Market Marling.😋

And soon, it will be joined by the perfect accompaniment: a Merano Pinot Noir Chutney. 🍷✨

A must-try for all cheese lovers! 💛
