Caines

Caines is the gateway to Val Passiria.

> Altitude: 592 metres above sea level

Few kilometres from Merano nestles the idyllic holiday resort Caines. The local parish church dates back to the Romanesque era and is dedicated to St Mauritius and St Corbinian. It is believed that the church which stood in this place before was built by St Corbinian himself to honour St Valentine and St Zeno…

Known as Kuens in German, the hamlet (see image) is an ideal starting point for hikes to the near-by Val Sopranes and throughout the Gruppo di Tessa Nature Park. Hikers are promised fairy-tale like places at heights up to 1,500 metres and more. A true natural paradise and unforgettable views are waiting for you!

> We suggest: the little Museum of Tractors at the Ungericht Inn and a hike along the local “Waalwege”, former irrigation channels serving as lovely hiking paths today!
