Holiday apartment in Cembra – Wine, Trails and Culture

A holiday apartment in Cembra suits travel plans that combine observing nature, physical activity, history and culinary discoveries. In Cembra, trails, historic churches and a regional wine experience come together; further natural and cultural destinations are located in the surrounding area. If you are travelling with children or in a group with different interests, you can balance active stages, cultural visits and a special culinary event.

Trails for active days

One specific experience is offered by Allevamento Silpaca, an alpaca farm in Località Maso Vac, 38034 Cembra. Visits and alpaca trekking are offered exclusively by prior appointment. A hiking route from Rifugio Lago Santo di Cembra leads via SAT 414, the Sentiero Italia, to the Lagabrun peat bog. For a cycling tour through Cembra, route 873, named Lago Santo–Passo Potzmauer, is available; it is 22 km long, and the stated duration is 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Architecture along the way

The Val di Cembra coast-to-coast hike crosses a footbridge over the river opposite the Centrale di Pozzolago. The Centrale di Pozzolago is a still-operating example of 1920s industrial architecture. In this way, the hike combines a waterside section with a striking example of industrial architecture.

Churches with a history of their own

In the historic centre of Cembra stands the Chiesa di San Pietro, an old church founded in the High Middle Ages. It houses an 18th-century painting of the Last Judgment by Valentino Rovisi of the Tiepolo school. Another historical trace is the Chiesa di San Rocco: it was built in 1519 following a plague epidemic and enlarged in 1839 as a vow of gratitude for liberation from cholera.
