bacchus & pomina | Guided Apple Hike with Tasting

Interesting facts about apples along the new apple trail.

ONLY IN GERMAN AND ITALIAN!

It's healthy, delicious and packed with vitamins: the South Tyrolean apple. Here in Schenna, this popular fruit has everything it needs to truly thrive: sun, elevation and the Alpine-Mediterranean climate. How these advantages affect its taste and what needs to be considered in cultivation, harvest, and storage is revealed in this educational walk with apple farmer Stefan along the new wine and apple trail "bacchus & pomina" on the Mitterplattweg path. The tour is rounded off with a tasting of apples and apple juice at the starting point of the "bacchus & pomina" wine and apple trail.

To bring along

For your hike, make sure you take enough water with you – ideally in a reusable water bottle. In Schenna, you can easily avoid buying single-use plastic bottles: tap water is of excellent quality and safe to drink. Reusable water bottles are available at the Schenna Tourist Office and from selected accommodation providers.

Good to know: As part of the “Refill Südtirol – Alto Adige” initiative, there are numerous designated refill stations and drinking fountains in Schenna and throughout South Tyrol. We recommend checking before your hike where you can refill your bottle along the way.
