View of the Rappeneck Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The waterfall was more of a chance find after weeks of heavy rain. I can't say whether he can always be seen

Bistro with beer garden in the heart of Sarnthein

Highlight • Cafe

Located in the heart of Sarnthein, the small bistro with beer garden offers an oasis of calm in the midst of picturesque houses. Well suited for an espresso, but the farmer's toast is also highly recommended.

View of Katharinaberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

A visit to Katharinaberg is definitely worthwhile. We usually take the bus up from Naturno and then hike the Meraner Höhenweg from there in the direction of the Unterstell cable car.

View of Monte Santa Caterina

Highlight • Viewpoint

A charming village in Val Senales, Monte Santa Caterina is located on a promontory in a panoramic position. From here, in fact, you can enjoy a splendid view of the green mountainsides, as far as the eye can see.

Chapel of the Parish Church of St. Nicholas, San Nicolò

Highlight • Religious Site

This small chapel is slightly hidden at the edge of the actual church and is well worth a look inside.

October 3, 2022,Wanderung von Katharinaberg im Schnalstal nach Unterstell, hoch über Naturns gelegen (Teilabschnitt des Meraner Höhenweges)

Technically not difficult hike on this section of the Meraner Höhenweg. On the one hand, the southern part of the Meraner Höhenweg, which can be walked almost all year round, ends in Katharinaberg. On the other hand, the northern part of the Meraner Höhenweg begins in Katharinaberg, which leads over the Eisjoch (altitude approx. 2,900 m) and is not accessible …

We've been wanting to hike the Merano High Trail for a long time, but the idea of having to sleep in the huts puts us off. Therefore, we're doing one or two stages each time, today from Katharinaberg to Unterstell.

September 25, 2025,🇮🇹 Katharinaberg - Hofschank Wald

Today was Bella's first mountain hike. She mastered all the trails perfectly. New and exciting were the cows, sheep, cats, and the large, free-roaming local male that harassed her right at the parking lot. He just hung on her rear end.🤣
