マルス-マレスベノスタのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

In October 2025, we saw donkeys, horses, and sheep in the pastures, in addition to cows.

Very friendly service, traditional south tyrolean food was great.

Seating area on the Sonnensteig with a wonderful view of the Vinschgau.

Wooden sculpture of the headless Lorgg, as well as an information panel about the legend: A hundred years ago, an eerie ghost was seen in Mals: the Lorgg, a gigantic, black man with a triangular hat. The Lorgg usually carried his head under his arm and, with mighty strides, roamed restlessly through the dark village streets at night until the bell rang in the morning. He harmed no one, but if he found grass or fruit thieves, he chased them away and pursued them to their houses. He particularly enjoyed drunks. He usually jumped on them from behind and let them carry him piggyback for long distances. Late one evening, a farmer and his wife were mowing in the Runk meadows above the village. Suddenly, the Lorgg came straight up the steep meadow and walked very close to the two of them. The couple were so frightened that they could not move for a long time. Another time, some mischievous young men threw stones at him. Full of rage, he pursued them, roaring horribly. One of the boys jumped into his room, window frame included, while the others reached a field cross, which they clung to for dear life. Only when the Angelus bell rang in the morning did the enraged Lorgg disappear. The night watchman, who often encountered him in a narrow alleyway in the upper village and pressed himself against the wall in fear to allow him to pass unmolested, made several crosses with mortar on the alleyway walls. From that time on, he never saw Lorgg again. The alley is still commonly called "Lorggaßl" today.

Good view from the Sonnensteig far into the Münstertal towards Taufers and Graubünden.

A lovely walk along the Waalweg, always along the water channel.

A small chapel right next to the Glieshof. The interior is rather plain, but it's still worth a quick visit.

Even if you're not a hotel guest, you can stop by here and enjoy a drink and a bite to eat on the terrace in summer. The Kaiserschmarrn is highly recommended.
