Tscherms: Trails, Vineyards and Culture
Accommodation in Tscherms
Tscherms is a destination for you if you want to combine cultural history, trails through a rural landscape and excursions in the surrounding area. Among orchards, vineyards and a historic watercourse, you will find various ways to explore the village at your own pace. The options range from a short walk to a moderate hike and a twelve-kilometre trail. This helps you plan your stay according to your interests and desired level of activity.
Historical Traces and Cultural Destinations
Castel Lebenberg was built in the 13th century by the Lords of Marling. Its medieval origins give your visit a clear historical focus. If you are interested in castles and regional history, this makes the history of the medieval region tangible in a specific location.
Kränzelhof has seven gardens. The extensive grounds host changing exhibitions by national and international female artists every year. If you would like to combine gardens and art in one visit, this place offers a different cultural perspective from medieval architectural history.
In the surrounding area of Cermes are the Museo della Frutticoltura and the Museo Ebraico, both museums. Also nearby are the Passeggiata Lungo Passirio, a viewpoint, Castello Rubein, a castle, and Merano Arte, a museum. You can therefore make your selection based on your interest in museums, history or views of the landscape.
Trails Through Orchards and Vineyards
The Mühlbach Trail in Tscherms follows the historic Mühlbach, a constructed watercourse that once supplied mills and irrigation systems. The trail is suitable for children and prams and leads as a short walk through orchards and vineyards. If you are travelling with children or a pram, it can therefore be incorporated into a family-oriented day plan.
The Via Alta di Marlengo from Cermes is a moderate hike along the Marling high-altitude route and the Marling irrigation channel. This gives you a hike whose course is accompanied by these two landscape features.
The Marling Waalweg runs for 12 kilometres from Cermes to Tel at the entrance to the Vinschgau Valley. For your planning, this long trail differs clearly from the short Mühlbach Trail; together with the moderate Via Alta di Marlengo, it shows that different levels of activity can be accommodated around Cermes.
Landscape from the Valley to the Mountain
The rural landscape of Cermes extends from the valley floor with its apple orchards to the fertile moraine hills below Monte San Vigilio, crossed by vineyards. Apple orchards and vineyards represent two different forms of an agriculturally shaped landscape. This creates a village setting in which the valley floor and hilly countryside follow one another as distinct landscape areas.
The Cascate di Parcines, a waterfall, Picco Ivigna Grande, a mountain, and La Croda Grande, a peak, are located in the area around Cermes. Waterfalls, mountains and peaks are therefore among the different landscape themes you can consider when planning your trip.
