Schenna
The sun terrace above the spa town of Merano
Schenna lies on the sunny slope of the spa town of Merano. The historical village is divided into different altitudes, and thanks to the mild climate, numerous outdoor activities are possible here at any time of the year.
From the pleasant Waalweg to the alpine pasture hike, from quiet forest paths to high mountain tours in the Sarntaler Alps, there is a lot to discover around the Prairerhof. Numerous hiking possibilities start directly from the farm, with the most beautiful mountain paths around the peaks of the Ifinger, Hirzer and along the Merano 2000 plateau. Three lifts also make it easier to enter the family-friendly hiking areas, where rustic mountain pastures and inns invite you to take a break.
But also culturally there is a lot to discover in Schenna. On the village hill of Scena there is the mighty Scenna Castle and the mausoleum of Archduke Johann, who, like Empress Sissi, resided in Scena in summer.
The spa town of Merano with its cafés and boutiques, cultural events and the urban wellness area of Terme Merano can be reached just as quickly as the cycle and hiking paths. Thus, Scena offers rural charm close to the city, but at the same time has remained a village where agriculture and livestock farming are an important source of income.
The mountain farmers are at the same time nature conservationists and landscape conservationists and make their property available to guests and visitors for hiking and enjoyment.
