Schenna is situated in a sunny idyllic location on the south-western slope above Meran and surrounded by the mountain peaks of the Ifinger and Hirzer (s. photo). The village is made up of Verdins, St. Georgen, Schennaberg, Untertall and Obertall. Schloss Schenna was built here in 1350. It is one of the many castles and palaces in the region of Meran that can still be visited today. From the 14th until right into the 19th century Schenna even held the office of judge that was afterwards assumed by Meran. A warm welcome between history and the present day, between culture and every kind of entertainment!
Come to Schenna for a relaxing, exciting, fascinating and sociable time.
On the trail of history.
Schloss Schenna sits majestically enthroned within its mighty walls above the town of Meran. Its halls and elegant rooms with a picture and portrait gallery are worth seeing, as is its collection of weapons and numerous art-historical objects on Tyrol's history.
It is open from April to the end of October.
Get to know our ancient traditions.
Watch and take part in our festivals with a blaze of colour and traditional costumes during our traditional events in Schenna. For example our autumn festival from 15 to 19.09.2007, our harvest thanksgiving on 28.10.2007 or our numerous concerts, processions or religious festivals throughout the year.
Strolling among the flowers.
The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, located below Schenna, fill us with enthusiasm for plants from all over the world. Walks wind their way up the slope through water and terrace gardens . They lead to the sun gardens or the Japanese garden, to the cacti and succulent hill or to cultivated plants from the south, such as olive trees and vines.
It is open from mid-March to mid-November.
You can also take the visitors' bus. To get there
A select choice
Gleaming chrome and purring engines bewitch and delight visitors to South Tyrol's Old-timer Classic from 8 to 15. 07.2007. Drivers and their old-timers do their best on the day tours through South Tyrol's unique world of mountains full of bends.
Immerse yourself and enjoy.
In the centre of the spa town of Meran, the Meran Thermal Baths send your senses on a journey of discovery with its pools, saunas, spa & vital centre, fitness centre and bistro. Nestling in Mediterranean parkland, the feel-good factor and relaxation are of prime importance.
There is also something eye-catching for aesthetes. The interior furnishings and fittings are the work of South Tyrol's star architect, Matteo Thun.
