At the Trattla leisure centre, there’s climbing and playing, as well as grand celebrations: The South Tyrol Strawberry Festival is held here
The entrance to the Val Martello in the Upper Val Venosta still belongs to Laces. After that, the first Martello farmsteads come into view, named Niederwies, Burgaun and Bad Salt - which, by the way, is also a mineral spring. Together with the groups of houses further south, they form the hamlet of Transacqua (Ennewasser), which is located on the valley floor along the Rio Plima. Meadows and fields stretch out time and again between the individual hamlets and farmsteads.
Transacqua is known for its Trattla leisure centre, which houses various sports facilities. The Martello climbing hall, with over 100 routes and its own bouldering room, is located here - it's one of the indoor climbing centres in South Tyrol. Daylight streams in through the large glass facade, and the climbing experience remains weather-independent. Additionally, it is also possible to play table tennis, table football, minigolf and tennis, or use a fitness trail.
The culturamartell National Park House is also located here. Where there's sport, there's celebration: In June, a lot of work goes into preparing everything at the leisure centre for the Val Martello Strawberry Days. A giant cake is baked, midnight performances are rehearsed, and the election of the Strawberry Queen is organised, ensuring everything runs smoothly over the festival weekend. In the Strawberry World, mountain strawberries are also sold directly in summer.
Three months later, at the end of September, the traditional St. Michael Market, with its wide range of goods, takes place at the Trattla leisure centre. These are the last warmer days: It often snows in Martello as early as October and November, and winter sports are next on the agenda.
