Falknerweg
Mr Hans Falkner, a foresighted tourism pioneer from the Ötztal valley, bought a strip of land beneath the village and had a promenade built there measuring around 1 km in length. It begins above the petrol station and leads to the Hotel Mair am Ort at the end of the village.
The view from the promenade is splendid. The entire Merano Valley lies at your feet and Castle Tyrol, Brunnenburg Castle, the ancient church of St. Peter and Thurnstein Castle can be seen. But Mr Falkner didn’t just ensure that the promenade had a splendid view. He also had expert gardeners plant interesting trees and shrubs alongside it. Cypresses, palms, strawberry trees and seasonal flowers make for a beautiful sight.
Anyone arriving at the Hotel Mair am Ort at the end of the promenade is sure to enjoy the splendid view of the surrounding landscape and distant mountains and remember the fine man who established this splendid walkway.
