Blooming zest for life in South Tyrolean spring
When nature in Lana awakens after its winter slumber, so does the desire for a holiday. In spring, the Lana region not only combines the green orchards in the valley and the still gleaming white peaks in the mountains. In this tranquil holiday haven, the first mild rays of sunshine warm smiling faces, fresh spring dishes treat amazed tastebuds, and active explorers discover the routes along the irrigation channels in full bloom.
Then it’s time for a gentle hike, a brisk bike ride, colourful culinary enjoyment, and all-around relaxation. Anyone who has been here knows: Lana connects. Maybe you and us, too?

Our top 3 tips in Lana and the surrounding area
MARLINGER WAALWEG
The Marlengo Waalweg trail is the longest trail along the irrigation channels in South Tyrol. It leads over a relatively flat 12 km from the Tel bridge past blooming apple orchards, cosy inns and Castel Lebenberg down to Lana. You can easily reach it by public transport.
LANA IN BLOOM
Just at the flowers and trees begin the bloom, so does the event calendar in Lana. Several events take place as part of the spring festival throughout the whole of April: from wild herb walks and the Wild Herb Kitchen "WildkräuterKuchl" to the Blossom Farm Festival "Blütenhöfefest" and the Farmer's Mile of Delights "Genussmeile".
CASTEL LEBENBERG
Proud walls and snow peaks behind them: the sight of Castel Lebenberg is a photo-worthy spectacle in its own right. The private residence is considered one of the most beautiful castles in the Burggrafenamt region. You can see for yourself on a guided tour.
