View of St. Georgen and Schenna

Highlight • Viewpoint

Shortly before the destination in St. Georgen, the small round church can be seen from the Waalweg. An interesting building style that is probably unique in the area. The interior of St. George's Church also has a lot to offer art lovers. Well-preserved frescoes from the 14th century and a late Gothic winged altar are definitely worth a look inside. However, if you are interested, you should inquire about opening times beforehand.

The Church of St. George dates back to the 12th/13th century. This original round church in the St. Georgen district was formerly the chapel of St. Georgen Castle or Old Schenna.

Schenna Waalweg

Atmospheric hike on the Schenner Waalweg. The shady path meanders along the old watercourse without any significant inclines and invites you to a relaxed hike while enjoying the scenery.

Schenna Castle

Highlight • Castle

Schenna Castle in Scena near Merano is one of the most important castles in South Tyrol. Today you can visit the castle and the formerly inhabited by the count's family state rooms in personal tours of Count von Spiegelfeld, brother in law of the owner.

The Lords of Schenna appear as Ministeriale of the Counts of Tyrol during the 12th Century in appearance. The castle was built around the year 1350 in place of the old castle Schenna, which was mentioned in a document in 1346, by Petermann von Schenna, 1352-1369 Governor of Tyrol and Burggraf Tyrol. At this time Margarete was the last Countess of Tyrol. A number of well-known Tyrolean noble families were owners of the castle, as the Lords of Starkenberg, who lost it in 1423 to Duke Friedrich with the empty bag, or from 1496 the Liechtenstein Kastelkorn.
In 1845 Archduke Johann bought the castle, which after his death left it to his descendants, the Count of Meran. It is still in their possession today (owner is Franz Graf von Meran from Stainz Castle), is inhabited and managed by members of the family. Not only the castle, but also the mausoleum on the church hill of Schenna, where Archduke Johann and his family found their final resting place, as well as the Thurnerhof as an agricultural farm and traditional tavern, belong to the estate today.

April 12, 2022,Von Schenna zur Seilbahn Talstation und auf dem Schenner Waalweg zurück

Before we were allowed to "walk" comfortably on the beautiful Schenner Waalweg, I had to demand maximum performance from my lungs up to the Taserbahn valley station.
But when I sit on the guest terrace by the pool with raspberry cake and coffee, then everything is fine again 😁

Conclusion: So beautiful everywhere, but now is also good. 😌😢

No improvement in the weather for hikes to higher altitudes in sight. But if you still have a choice, it's ok.

April 30, 2025,Schenner Waalweg – über St. Georgen

We started our tour in Schenna. Initially, there was a long uphill stretch. If you want to shorten the climb, you can take the bus to the school or continue to Verdins.

Once you reach the Waalweg (Waal Path), it's a beautiful loop. It descends gently past apple trees and through forests, with beautiful views all the way.

September 5, 2025,🇮🇹 Schenna Waalweg 🌳🍏 | Meran

Since thunderstorms ⛈️ were forecast starting this afternoon, we opted for a short, pleasant walk along the "Schenna Waalweg" (Waal Trail). 😊
We started in the town of Schenna. It was a steep climb through the town to the Taser gondola station.
From there, we walked along the Waalweg (a paved path with a watercourse) through the forest and past …

Today we did our first tour with the best weather and summer temperatures. Komoot had displayed a free parking lot relatively high up. Unfortunately, the maximum parking time was limited to three hours. So we had to park down in town. After visiting the new parish church of Schenna, which was built between 1914 and 1931, we accidentally discovered the …

With summery temperatures and a bright blue sky, we did our first tour near Schenna. Komoot had displayed a free parking lot relatively high up. Unfortunately, the maximum parking time was limited to three hours. So we had to park down in town.
We then started at the parish church of Schenna, in whose cemetery we accidentally discovered the grave …

Everyone talks about Schenna and we always drove past it. Today we're going to change that and hike to the town via the Waalweg path from Schenna.

Today we went partly along the Waalweg, which is an artificially created irrigation ditch.
Apple trees everywhere with abundant harvest yield. It is sure to be a fantastic sight even in the heyday.
