The little village of Marlengo is located on a little elevation above the Val d'Adige, only a stone's throw from the spa town of Merano. This is where you can experience the mild and Mediterranean climate that makes nature awake much earlier than in other regions. A particular impressive period is the apple blossom, transforming the fruit orchards into a sea of fragrant flowers. A recommendable walking trail is the Roggia di Marlengo, which is also ideal for a family walk.

Tradition is of utmost importance to the village and culture is livened up in various events. The band of the village harkens back on a 150-year long tradition, the "appl crown" of Marlengo, which is a huge carriage with innumerable apples participating in the grape festival of Merano, is another manifestation of the importance of customs.

Another attraction is the charming Assunta parish church, boasting some precious frescoes of 1400, a huge mosaic as well as the stations of the cross. Finally a curiosity: this church has got a sister church in Selsley (England), as a visitor of Marlengo was so amused by this building that he had it rebuilt in his home-town.
