Bezienswaardigheden in Zuid-Tirol

Natuur- en cultuur-monumenten in Merano en omgeving

In Merano en omgeving bevinden zich talrijke bezienswaardigheden, zoals de oude Romeinse weg Via Claudia Augusta, de bijzondere archeologische vindplaats van de wereldberoemde gletsjermummie Ötzi in Val Senales/Schnalstal en de 2000 jaar oude lariksbomen in Val d’Ultimo/Ultental. De fresco’s van St. Prokulus in Naturno/Naturns dateren uit de zevende eeuw. En dan zijn er nog de bijzondere bergkerken, zoals de pelgrimskerk in Madonna/Unsere Frau, de bergkerk van St. Kathrein en de Wetterkirche op de Vigiljoch.

Relatief nieuw zijn daarentegen de tuinen van het kasteel Trauttmansdorff, ten oosten van Merano/Meran. Hier zijn meer dan 80 tuinlandschappen uit de hele wereld te zien. Ook erg populair zijn uitstapjes naar hedendaagse reisdoelen als het openluchtkunstwerk Knottkino in Verano/Vöran, hoog boven Merano.
