Tappeiner Promenade, Merano

Description The Tappeiner Promenade is a 6-km walk that looks out over the center of Merano. It is located at a rather high elevation, leading from Mt. San Zeno, along Mt. Benedetto, to Gratsch (Quarazze). It can be accessed from the old town and the Gilf Promenade, crossing through a number of idyllic settings immersed in the vineyards of Merano. The Tappeiner Promenade is most well-known for its lush Mediterranean vegetation and fantastic views of Merano and the Burggrafenamt. The construction of this walking route was funded by medical doctor, botanist, and anthropologist Franz Tappeiner (1816–1902). Originally from Laas, in the Vinschgau Valley, Tappeiner settled in Merano in 1848 after finishing medical school, and went on to play a significant role in the city’s development as a thermal spa destination.
