Nalles

Nalles, the southernmost municipality of the Burgraviato region, is also the first village on the famous South Tyrolean Wine Road

On the way from Bolzano to Merano, almost exactly in the middle, a village stretches up the slope on the left. It lies off the beaten track amidst orchards and vineyards, and the mild climate of the Merano valley basin also allows the cultivation of olive and lemon trees. But Nalles is best known for its rose beds: The small streets, the cosy life and the flowers that flourish everywhere gave the southernmost municipality of the Burgraviato the nickname "Rose Village". Here the Merano area merges into the Wine Road, one of Italy's oldest wine regions, which then stretches via Appiano and Caldaro to Salorno.

People like to celebrate in Nalles: The Marlene South Tyrol Sunshine Race, a mountain bike race in spring, is followed every two years by the vintage race for motorbikes with the International South Tyrolean Mountain Prize in early summer and the village festival in midsummer. The festival site is located on the edge of the main village of the municipality, where the sports facilities with the open-air swimming pool and the riding stables can also be found. The municipal area then extends to Sirmiano and Sirmiano di Sopra, or Upper Sirmiano, above Nalles village, two villages where people like to go Törggelen in autumn.

A highlight of Nalles is the combination of new buildings that look young and fresh and charming old walls in the middle. One of these is Schwanburg Castle - also known as Castel del Cigno or Swan Castle - from the 13th century with its loggia corridors. It once housed the oldest private winery in South Tyrol, which also still kept barrels from the time of Maria Theresa in the cellar. Today, it serves as an administrative building for the agricultural business. Another residence, the Stachelburg, invites you to enjoy the best cuisine and South Tyrolean wines in its vaulted cellars.
