The wine and apple trail

Bacchus, the god of wine, and Pomona, the goddess of tree fruit, were the inspiration for the new Wine and Apple Trail, which provides a glimpse of Schenna’s unique cultural landscape high above Merano. With a walking time of a good hour to an hour and a half, both trails promise hikes with plenty of insights and views amongst the vines and orchards.

From the starting point of the “bacchus & pomina” themed trail in the centre of Schenna, the Wine Trail branches off along Katnauweg and Leiterweg, which – as it passes the Innerleiterhof Vineyard – leads downhill to the Maiser Waalweg path. Following the babbling irrigation channel, the trail winds along to Merano as far as Planta Castle. It then climbs up to Schenna lido along Haslerweg and Tschoigassl. Mitterplattweg then leads back to the starting point.

From the starting point of the “bacchus & pomina” themed trail in the centre of Schenna, the Apple Trail leads along Wiesenweg to Verdinserstrasse, until just before Pizzeria Petermann. Here, it continues towards the Auelerhof, then past the Lothhof and Krebishof, up into the parish of St. Georgen, which offers a marvellous view of Merano. From here the trail leads downhill to Rodelstein and along St. Georgener Strasse back to the starting point.

For anyone who wants to, it is perfectly possible to hike both themed trails in one go. The Apple Trail and the Wine Trail are connected via the Rodelstein - Kampfl Kreuz - Schenna lido loop. This section is 1.6 km long and takes approximately 20 minutes longer to complete. Both trails are perfect for families – although they are not suitable for pushchairs.
