Lagundo & Surroundings:
Mountains, sun and enchanting panoramas

The town of Lagundo is located on the West border of Merano and is in close proximity of this sunny thermal city. The little town is the ideal starting point for wonderful hikes and walks in the surroundings, for example along the "Waalwege", the ancient Roman irrigation ditches which are so typical in this region. Also the small hamlet "Vellau / Velloi" above Lagundo is absolutely worth a visit.

Enjoy the exceptional views on the entire Adige Valley which is enclosed by idyllic mountains with their woods, pastures and sunny orchards. Come and experience the geographical variety of the landscape around Merano and Lagundo: gentle hillsides covered with vineyards, blossoming and fragrant orchards in the valleys, green alpine pastures, the magnificent peaks of the Natural Park Tessa Group… and all this is at your disposal for free at the Residence!

Furthermore you should not miss to savour the feudal atmosphere of the Trattmansdorff Castle. If you observe the huge park and the natural terrace around the water lilies pond, if you look at the superlative panorama offered by the mountains surrounding Merano, or if you walk in the botanic garden spreading at the feet of the Castle, you will easily understand the reason why Empress Sissi of Austria was fascinated by this breathtaking location. Nowadays the Castle hosts the Tourism Museum which the only museum in the Alps devoted exclusively to the history of tourism by taking the visitor on an exciting journey in time through over 200 years of the history of tourism.
