Chiesetta di San Valentino Church

This little church is located in Maia Alta (Obermais), below Labers Castle and near the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle. Because of its picturesque location surrounded by orchards and fields, it is a popular hiking destination. It is dedicated to St. Valentine, who was engaged as a messenger of faith in the region in the fifth century and was buried in the mortuary chapel of San Zeno (Zenoburg) Castle.

From the train station, take the city line 1b in the direction of Trauttmansdorff to the ‘St. Valentins church’ stop and then continue on foot along the country lane to the church.

From Piazza Teatro, follow the signposted cycle path past the summer promenade and up the church slope to Piazza Fontana and then turn right into Via Dante. From there, turn left into St. Valentinus Street to the little church of St. Valentinus. Take care when crossing the ring road to Scena.
