Holiday apartment in Marling: Wine, Trails and Apple Blossom

Marling combines viticulture, woodland trails and village culture. The parish church of the Assumption of Mary is part of the village culture, while the WineCultureTrail leads through the landscape of the wine estates. There is also the Squirrel Trail with its nature and adventure stations, the long Waalweg di Marlengo and, in spring, a sea of apple blossoms around Marling. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Marling, you can plan your trip around these different experiences.

WineCultureTrail and Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary

The Marling WineCultureTrail is four kilometres long, starts in the village centre and leads past the Merano winery and the numerous wine estates of Mitterterz. Its route uses village roads with little traffic and returns to the centre of Marling as a circular trail. Along the route, information pillars provide details about the history and culture of wine. The Marling WineCultureTrail displays oversized objects from viticulture, including a Reber, a Moster and the Pazeide, an ancient wine and measuring vessel. The return to the centre marks the end of the loop and keeps the route well connected as an independent walk.

The parish church of the Assumption of Mary also creates a distinctive cultural accent. The neo-Gothic, three-nave church was built according to the plans of Viennese architect Anton Weber; its entrance is accessible. The church bells inspired Franz Liszt to compose a piece. He wrote the song “Ihr Glocken von Marling”.

A holiday apartment in Marling for active days and time together

The Squirrel Trail is a circular route just over one kilometre long, marked with squirrel signs and featuring 23 nature and adventure stations for the whole family. The route is divided into play, sports and rest areas and includes educational stations about the forest and wood. The Squirrel Trail also includes an adventure rope course and a forest aula for creative activities in the woods. The short route with 23 stations combines nature themes with play, sports and rest areas and allows for different paces within one loop. This trail therefore offers several different ways to enjoy an outing with children.

Those who prefer longer routes will find a different scale with the Waalweg di Marlengo: It is about 12 kilometres long and the longest Waalweg in South Tyrol. The Via Claudia Augusta is also of interest for cycling tours. It leads from Marlengo/Marling via Lana, Nalles/Nals and Andriano/Andrian, then continues onto the Etschtal cycle path, which leads to Bolzano/Bozen.

Apple Blossom Around Marling

In spring, the fields around Marling become a colourful sea of apple blossoms. This seasonal landscape impression complements the themes of the WineCultureTrail and the woodland trails with another reason to explore the surrounding area mindfully. When choosing your holiday apartment in Marling, you can therefore consider whether viticulture and village culture, family-friendly nature stations, longer routes or cycling tours should be the focus of your trip.
