San Vigilio Church and Tower (Vigiljoch / Monte San Vigilio)

Highlight • Religious Site

Vigiljoch in the narrower sense refers to a 1743 m s.l.m. high crossing over the northeastern foothills of the Zufrittkamms of the Ortler Alps in South Tyrol (Italy). This is located between smaller, mostly wooded hilltops and is the site of the church of St. Vigil am Joch with frescoes from the 14th century. In a broader sense, Vigiljoch is also used to refer to the surrounding mountain ridge, without distinctive peaks, which rises between the lower Vinschgau, the Burggrafenamt around Meran and the entrance of the Ultental valley, and which, in the south-westerly direction, increases significantly in height to the Naturnser Hochjoch.

View of the St. Vigilius Church on Mount San Vigilio

Highlight • Religious Site

A wonderful view over the South Tyrolean mountain landscape is the reward for the long and strenuous ascent from Marlengo to the Vigiljoch. There are different options for the descent: either the same way back via the Naturnser Alm, via Darling in the direction of Meran, or (my favourite) via Aschbach down to the Adige. If you like it sporty, you can use the mountain bike trails in the direction of Lana (keep in the direction of the cable car).

Black Pond / Pozza Nera Biotope

Highlight • Lake

As black as the name sounds, the "black paint" is not, as you can see from the photos. The name is often used in the Alpine region for standing, rather dark-looking waters. Ideal for a small break on the lake shore or in the restaurant by the lake.

View of Merano and the Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this path, just below the summit of Dosso dei Larici (Larchbüchel), not far from the arrival point of the ski lifts, you can enjoy a very wide view of the valley and the city of Merano.
