Hiking between the Oberinn meadows and gorges

The Oberinn Meadows–Die Schian hiking route begins in Auna di Sopra at the Church of San Leonardo and initially follows hiking trail marker 4A. It leads to the wayside shrine „Auf der Schian“ at an elevation of 1,924 m, from which a panoramic view opens up. The Schelmsteig connects Oberbozen with Oberinn and Wangen. On its way to Oberinn, it passes through three small gorges along a narrow, partly rocky path. This gives you different types of routes to choose from when planning: one route with a panoramic destination and another whose course is characterized by gorges and rocky terrain.

Landscape areas around Auna di Sopra

The Ortlkopf summit and Monte Pozza mountain are located in the area around Auna di Sopra. The Monte Balzo summit is situated in the wider regional area. This spatial distinction helps you differentiate between destinations in the immediate vicinity, the wider local area and a regional excursion.

Church and local history

The Church of San Leonardo in Auna di Sopra dates back to 1200 and is what is known as a chain church. A chain made of iron votive offerings extends around the church wall and gives the building a distinctive visible feature. The Oberinn curacy that developed over time was elevated to an independent parish in the 20th century. During the time of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Oberinn was intended to become a health resort because of its mild climate at an elevation of 1,300 m; these plans were never implemented. The sacred building and local history therefore provide several cultural points of interest during a stay.

Museums in the area

The Museo della Apicoltura Plattner museum is located in the immediate vicinity of Auna di Sopra. The Gasser Museum, the Museum of Natural Science and Mareccio Castle are also located in the area around Auna di Sopra. Those who wish to include museums and historic sites in addition to hikes will therefore find a range of cultural destinations around their holiday location.

Planning your days

When choosing a holiday apartment in Oberinn, you can compare your personal interests with the various trails, landscape destinations and cultural offerings. A specific point of reference is the connection from the Stieger stop above Oberinn village center: from there, it is a five-minute walk to Pension Resy; from there, visitors are accompanied to the RiArco archery course. This also allows you to include an excursion away from churches, museums and hiking trails in your daily plans.
