Holiday apartment in Tisens among castles, vineyards and nature

On a sunny high plateau above the Adige Valley, Tisens-Prissiano is characterised by vineyards, fruit trees and chestnut trees. Small natural oases, meadows, forests and numerous biotopes are ideal for nature-oriented walks. A holiday apartment in Tisens provides a landscape setting for a variety of holiday days: you can combine cultural destinations, a very easy hike and regional chestnut traditions.

Castles, a church and a special Kneipp facility

Fahlburg is considered one of the most beautiful Renaissance castles in South Tyrol. A Kneipp facility operated by the Tesimo-Prissiano Tourism Association is located by the stream in Prissiano. In Tesimo stands the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta, of Romanesque origin, first mentioned in 1194 and featuring stained-glass windows from the Augsburg school dating from around 1520.

In the immediate vicinity of Tisens are Castel Katzenzungen, a castle, and the Museo della Frutticoltura, a museum. Leonburg and Castel Maggio are fortresses in the same immediate vicinity. The Passeggiata Lungo Passirio is a viewpoint in the area around Tisens.

Trails for active and relaxing days

The “Tisner Gall” circular trail begins at the parish church in Tesimo and follows Trail No. 13 past Zwingenburg Castle towards Caprile. Above Tesimo, the “Sentiero panoramico circolare” circular trail is a very easy hike with beautiful viewpoints on Monte di Mezzo di Tesimo. Both trails offer you different options for planning your day.

The landscape also includes the peaks of Monte Luco Piccolo and Monte Plat, as well as Monte Luco Grande in the area around Tesimo. This means that both mountain views and forests, meadows and biotopes can take centre stage in your planning.

Wine and chestnuts as local themes

A special connection between the landscape and regional culture is the indigenous South Tyrolean grape variety Versoaln. It is over 360 years old and extends at the foot of the manor house over 300 m² along a traditional pergola made of chestnut wood. The KESCHTNRIGGL Chestnut Days in Tisens-Prissiano introduce visitors to the regional chestnut culture and its customs.

Guests staying at participating accommodation establishments in the Tesimo-Prissiano holiday area receive the Alto Adige Guest Pass free of charge. With it, these guests can use public transport throughout South Tyrol free of charge. When choosing a holiday apartment in Tisens, it is therefore important to distinguish between the general range of accommodation and participating accommodation establishments.

For families with different interests, Tisens can be divided conceptually into themes: the Renaissance castle and parish church represent days focused on culture, the “Sentiero panoramico circolare” a very easy hike, and Versoaln and KESCHTNRIGGL lead to wine and chestnut themes. You can choose a holiday apartment in Tisens according to the focus you wish to set during your stay.
