Tisens

Tisens is set in a unique location on top of a sunny hill to the south of the spa town of Meran. Once, the aristocracy and wealthy landowners visited the village for summer relaxation and hiking. As a result there are many castles and summer residences here, as well as mountain churches and chapels testifying to previous times.

Surrounded by vineyards, fruit and chestnut groves, unique natural sites can be explored in Tisens, Prissian, Grissian, Naraun, Gfrill and Platzers. There are adventure hiking trails and walks to historic mountain churches such as St. Jakob or St Hippolyt, with unique views of the Dolomites. The two main towns of the area, Meran and Bozen can be reached quickly within a 20 minutes’ drive.

On the northern slope of Katzenzungen Castle grows the largest and possibly oldest vine in the world, the Versoaln vine, the wine of which can be tasted on site.

In autumn, Tisens and Prissian, invite visitors to the Keschtnriggl chestnut festival, a culinary festival in honor of the Tesimo chestnut.

The animal world of Rainguthof in Gfrill is a well-known and popular destination for families, who come because of the many different animals around the mountain farm and the beautiful view.
