More than 800 castles wait to be explored

With more than 800 castles, palaces and manor houses, South Tyrol/Südtirol has a large cultural heritage to preserve. In order to maintain these, over the years the historic buildings of the region have been used for many other purposes, such as serving as museums or hotels.

Among the most popular are Tyrol Castle and the castle of Trauttmansdorff, Juval and Lebenberg. The first is considered the cradle of Tyrol and was the former seat of the counts of Tyrol. The second was the residence of the Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, and today hosts the Museum of Tourism as well as one of the most beautiful gardens in the world. Juval Castle above Naturno/Naturns is home to the Messner Mountain Museum. Lebenberg Castle above Cermes/Tscherms near Lana is open to the public through guided tours, and Castel Fragsburg above Merano/Meran is now a renowned restaurant.

The castle villages of Tesimo-Prissiano/Tisens-Prissian are located south of Merano, and are host to six castles, among them Katzenzungen, Wehrburg and Fahlburg castles. Also worth a mention are the Schenna Castle and Mausoleum of the Archduke Johann.

During the Christmas season, several former manor houses are used for traditional Advent markets.

Auf Entdeckungstour am WeinKulturWeg in Marling 🍷🌿🍇

Euer Weg startet am Kirchplatz von Marling, bei der Pazeide, einem uralten Messgefäß am Dorfplatz ⛪. Von hier taucht ihr Schritt für Schritt in die Welt des Weins ein – vorbei an alten Mauern, schmalen Gassen und Reben, die sich malerisch an die Hänge schmiegen. 🌞🍇

Unterwegs begleiten euch Info-Stelen, die spannende Geschichten über den Weinbau erzählen. Mit jedem Halt erfahrt ihr mehr über die Kultur und Tradition, die Marling seit Jahrhunderten prägen. Besonders eindrucksvoll: die überlebensgroßen Weinbauobjekte – der Reber, das wichtigste Werkzeug der Winzer, und der Moster, Symbol für das Pressen der Trauben. 🍇⚒️

Begleitet von herrlichen Ausblicken eröffnet sich euch immer wieder ein traumhafter Blick über die Weinberge und das gesamte Burggrafenamt. 🌄🍂

Außerdem passiert ihr Marlinger Weinhöfe , die zeigen, wie lebendig die Weintradition hier bis heute geblieben ist – und wie sie das Dorfleben prägt.🏡

Zum Abschluss führt euch der Rundweg vorbei an der Kellerei Meran zurück ins Zentrum von Marling.🍷

👉 Der WeinKulturWeg Marling ist mehr als ein Spaziergang – er ist eine kleine Reise durch Geschichte, Kultur und Natur. 😉

Distillery Bauernbrennerei Lahnerhof – Where Tradition Meets Taste 🍐🍎

Nestled among the orchards lies the Lahnerhof – a place where passion, expertise, and heartfelt dedication come together to create fine brandies and grappas. 🌿🍎

Mathias Lamprecht runs the family-owned distillery in a listed farmhouse dating back to the 12th century. The Lahnerhof has been in the Lamprecht family for over 100 years. What was once the old washhouse has been lovingly transformed into a distillery – where today pure fruit brandies are crafted from the farm’s own apples, pears, plums, and Williams pears.👨‍🌾

Distillation takes place in a traditional copper still – a craft that demands precision, experience and intuition.🔥
The result: brandies that stand out for their purity, fruitiness and depth.🍎🍐

The Lahnerhof is a family-run farm that stands for small-scale distilling at its finest – regional, authentic and crafted with love for detail. 😀

Tastings and guided tours are available by appointment – an experience for all the senses!😉

Weindorf Marling – ein passender Wein zur Herbstzeit: Vernatsch, der Südtirol-Klassiker 🍷🍇🍂

Wusstet ihr, dass …
der Vernatsch (ital. Schiava) zu den ältesten und traditionsreichsten Rebsorten Südtirols zählt? In Marling gedeiht er besonders gut auf den sonnigen Hanglagen oberhalb des Etschtals. Die Moränenböden schenken ihm seine typische Leichtigkeit, während das milde Klima für fruchtige Aromen sorgt. 🌞🍇

Im Glas präsentiert er sich in hellem Rubinrot, mit feinen Noten von Kirsche, Himbeere und einem Hauch von Veilchen. Charakteristisch sind sein leichter Körper, die sanften Tannine und seine angenehme Trinkfreude – Eigenschaften, die ihn seit Generationen zu einem Lieblingswein der Südtiroler machen. 🍷🍇

Herbst & Vernatsch🍂
Gerade jetzt, wenn die Weinberge rund um Marling in Gold- und Rottönen leuchten und die Kastanien am offenen Feuer rösten, entfaltet der Vernatsch seinen besonderen Charme.🌰🔥 Ob bei einem geselligen Törggele-Abend, zu einer typischen Südtiroler Marende oder als Begleiter zu Nudeln und leichten Fleischgerichten – er sorgt immer für unvergessliche Genussmomente.😋

Fact: In seiner edleren Variante wird er auch „Edelvernatsch“ genannt – ein Ausdruck der Wertschätzung für diese traditionsreiche Rebsorte.🤓

Und ihr? Genießt ihr euren Wein im Herbst lieber klassisch zur Marende, beim Törggelen oder ganz entspannt draußen mit Blick auf die herbstlichen Weinberge? 🍇🍂🌄
