Stone bridges over the Passer in Merano

Highlight • Bridge

The Passer (Italian Passirio) is a river in South Tyrol (Italy). It is formed by the confluence of several source streams on the Timmelsjoch and is 42.6 km in length one of the largest tributaries on the upper course of the Adige, in which it flows into Merano and drained into the Adriatic Sea. The Passer flows through Passeier; their most important tributaries are the Pfelderer Bach, the Waltenbach and the Kalmbach.

The Passer is a popular destination for tourist activities such as canoeing and rafting, as well as the canyon between St. Leonhard and Moos since June 2015 can be walked on a newly opened trail

Merano Colonnade

Highlight • Monument

When you stroll leisurely along the winter promenade by the Passer, you will also see the Wandelhalle. Today it is an attraction that draws many visitors who not only want to admire the Hall of Honour but also want to be transported back to past times. It was once a popular place for spa guests to relax and sunbathe.
At the end of the 18th century, Meran was still an insignificant village.
The banks of the Passer were used for hanging and drying laundry.
Through scientific publications about the health-promoting climate of Meran and its surroundings, the town soon rose to become a spa town.
Magnificent houses were built, and the mayor Josef Valentin Haller had the Wandelhalle erected.
It was intended as a covered promenade for spa guests, which caused protests among the local citizens, as this had always been their space.
Numerous contemporary painters, including Franz Lenhart, decorated the Wandelhalle with their works. An open picture gallery was created.
The Wandelhalle, built in the Art Nouveau style with its sweeping iron structure, was also often used for events and concerts.
Even today, you can immerse yourself in this quiet world of the former spa town and, while enjoying an espresso, let your gaze wander over magnificent Art Nouveau villas with their spires, which lie somewhat hidden behind high hibiscus hedges.

The Powder Tower, a landmark of Merano, stands alone above the Steinach district and looks back on a history dating to the 16th century. It offers a magnificent view of Merano!

View from the Pulverturm over Merano

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Pulverturm is located directly on the Tappeinerweg and is easy to climb. From here you have a great view over the Adige Valley.

View of Merano and the parish church from the Tappeiner Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

Almost everything has already been said here about the Tappeinerweg. What I would like to add is that there are solid toilet houses at the beginning and end, which are made of wood and blend in well with the landscape.

Serpentine Path Down to Merano Old Town

Highlight • Trail

If you're coming from the Tappeiner Weg trail from the Pulverturm tower to the Saxifrage restaurant in the old town of Merano, you can easily descend in a series of switchbacks. You'll exit at the Sissi restaurant near the chairlift to Tirolo village.
Beforehand, you can also descend via the herb garden and exit at the parish church. However, there are steep old stone steps.
Or you can also continue from the Saxifraga restaurant via the stairs and path.
