Lana di Sotto

The Lana Golf Club stretches along the Brandiswaal irrigation channel, amidst the orchards at the foot of the Brandis Castle ruins

First of all, Lana di Sotto welcomes you in the holiday resort of Lana: The district stretches from the exit of the MeBo Motorway towards Lana di Mezzo, and southwestwards towards St. Margaret and the Passo Palade Road. Past the Lido Lana and the sports fields opposite, Lana di Sotto then extends to the left and reaches the Larchgut Residence with the South Tyrolean Fruit Growing Museum on the Brandis Waalweg path. Nearby, the Lana Golf Club invites you to tee off amidst the orchards. This is a special highlight in spring, when everything is in bloom.

Lana di Sotto offers numerous cultural highlights: The Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary is one of the most beautiful buildings of the late Gothic period in South Tyrol and impresses with a sandstone pulpit, a triumphal arch crucifix and the beautiful glass paintings in the choir windows. Absolutely worth seeing is the Schnatterpeck Altar, which with 14 m in height is one of the largest winged altars in the Alpine region. Lana's two museums can also be found here: the Fruit Growing Museum and the Small Museum in Lana, a private collection of objects from two world wars.

The best way to explore the surroundings is on foot: The already mentioned Brandis Waalweg path is the most famous hiking trail in Lana. It takes you to the Gaul Canyon and shows some artworks, because a section of the South Tyrolean Sculpture Trail follows the ancient irrigation channel, called Waal. The Romanesque Chapel of St. Margaret the Virgin above Lana di Sotto (Niederlana) is also within walking distance. In summer, the hike to St. Hippolyt is a good and refreshing tip.
