Beautiful Waterfall - Hotel Rablanderhof
Parcines waterfall

The largest in South Tyrol and one of the most beautiful in the whole Alpine region. After a one and a half hour hike starting from the Parcines village centre, you can enjoy the captivating natural spectacle. The mighty waterfall is particularly impressive in spring for its visitors when 10,000 litres of clear mountain water thunder down the rocks every second.

Waalway - Hotel Rablanderhof
Waalwege

In the midst of fruit trees and chestnut groves the Waalwege (irrigation paths) in the Merano region are excellent to explore. The channels built in the 13th century ensured a fair distribution of water in the orchards and thereby ensured the harvest. Today they connect numerous paths in the area as an extensive hiking network. Probably the most beautiful irrigation channels among them: the Parcines Waalweg, the Rablà Waalweg, the Marlengo Waalweg and the Lagundo Waalweg.

Altitude path - Hotel Rablanderhof
Merano high altitude trail

High up, at dizzy heights, an impressive view awaits you: over the Merano region, the Ortles massif and to the Dolomites. The Merano high altitude trail (No. 24) leads through the most beautiful area in six daily stages over a distance of around 110 kilometres South Tyrol Nature Park, the Texel Group, and provides insights into its diverse flora and fauna. The individual stages are also a popular hiking tip as a day tour.
