Riffian Kuens bei Meran

Experience and enjoy nature

The scenery around Riffian and Kuens offers many surprises for nature lovers, hikers and those who appreciate nature. Beautiful hiking tours and well-marked walking paths lead you through orchards, fields and forests - and up into the sunny mountains. While passing green meadows, fragrant Alpine pastures, roaring brooks and silent mountain lakes you feel like in the midst of nature. A true enjoyment for your senses.

Clambering and conquering mountains

Hiking in the Nature Park of the Texel Group is one of many special experiences. Clear mountain air, coloured Alpine meadows and bubbling mountain brooks let you switch off from everyday life. Here, you will find a rich flora and fauna and you will make many interesting discoveries. If you dare to climb up to rocky heights, you will not only get insight into a varied nature life but you will also enjoy magnificent panoramic views into the valley.

Festivals and tradition

Festivals are part of the daily life in the village. Every association has its own annual celebration. The musical framework is also important as it guarantees joy and fun. People celebrate into the early hours of the morning - with a glass of wine and other typical South Tyrolean specialities. In autumn, the old tradition of spending some time in typical cellar restaurants is extensively popular: the "Törggele" time has begun.
