Don't forget to visit the famous Tappeiner promenade, which runs just above the roofs of Merano!
The Merano promenades were created 150 years ago and still today they have lost none of their charm and beauty. While the wide spa promenade, directly at the magnificent Kurhaus up to the Wandelhalle, is still sophisticated, it is immediately after the summer and winter promenade more quiet and contemplative.
Take your time if you want to visit the Merano promenades. Get yourself an ice cream and take a leisurely stroll past the Wandelhalle in a northerly direction to the Gilfpromenade. Take advantage of the numerous resting places and listen to the murmur of the Passer river. Only with silence you can enjoy the Mediterranean fauna here, far away from noise and traffic. In spring, at the time of snowmelt, the Passer swells very strongly. In this period the canoeists of SC Merano take control of the water and fascinate with their breathtaking maneuvers, which you can follow from the promenades.

The walks & promenades in Merano
-
Tappeiner Promenade
The most famous walk in Merano runs above the historic center of the city to Lagundo. Along the Tappeiner promenade you will be accompanied by a very diverse and well-kept flora with some rare specimens, which come from all over the world.
-
The Summer Promenade
... leads from the Gilf gorge back to the Sissipark, this time on the shady side of the Passirio river. This is also the reason for its name, as it is mainly used in summer, when its location provides shade and the Passirio carries a fresh cool breeze. At its end, in the park at the Post Bridge, stands one of the most photographed monuments of Merano, that of the Empress Sissi.
-
Public herb garden
Where once a vineyard towered above the city of Merano, the public herb garden was established in 2012.
It can be reached via the Tappeiner promenade or via an old, adventurous stepped path that begins behind the parish church.
