The town of Merano is a popular destination for an\u00a0enjoyable day trip<\/strong>\u00a0during a stay at St. Martin. Since\u00a0Merano<\/strong>\u00a0is only some 16 kilometres away from our resort, the journey takes less than half an hour by car. The\u00a0spa centre of the health resort of Merano<\/strong>\u00a0is well-known far beyond the Italian borders. Yet, there are numerous other attractions which are worth a visit.<\/p>\n Flora lovers should not miss the opportunity to visit the\u00a0Botanic Garden of Merano<\/strong>. The park is marvellously arranged around the\u00a0“Trauttmansdorff” castle<\/strong>\u00a0in the eastern part of the town. The much visited park comprises, among a lot of other attractions,\u00a0four distinctive botanic areas<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0ten art pavilions<\/strong>. The little guests are enthusiastic about the “discovery trail” in the park.<\/p>\n The\u00a0South-tyrolean Archeology Museum<\/strong>\u00a0shows its visitors a quite outstanding attraction: the “\u00d6tzi<\/strong>“, probably the most famous mummy in the world. For millenaries the body of the “Man from the ice” has been well preserved, being today one of the most famous attractions of South Tyrol. The “Messner Mountain Museum<\/strong>” is not less interesting. In this museum, founded by the mountaineer Reinhold Messner, the visitor can discover the fascinating world of mountaineering.<\/p>\n The town of\u00a0Bolzano<\/strong>, the\u00a0capital of South Tyrol<\/strong>, is absolutely worth a day trip. The visitor ought not to miss the opportunity to visit the old town, including the so-called “Bozner Lauben”. Bolzano is often referred to as the “Town of the Contrasts<\/strong>“. The guest can discover there, on the one hand, innumerable romantic winding alleys, which invite for a relaxed stroll, and, on the other hand, numerous pubs and restaurants. The so called “Bozner Lauben<\/strong>” are much visited. The picturesque arcades are a particularly impressive feature of this shopping area, which is exclusively reserved to pedestrians.<\/p>\n The Val Gardena hides another popular sight of South Tyrol.:\u00a0the worldwide biggest crib<\/strong>, which is continuously extended by as many as 18 wood carvers, who are permanently working there.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_global_section id=”2335″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”none” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#e4ded5″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”2%” top_padding_tablet=”7%” bottom_padding_tablet=”10%” text_color=”custom” custom_text_color=”#d4c0ff” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” enable_shape_divider=”true” shape_divider_color=”#ffffff” shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_divider_height=”50%” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”straight_section” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit”…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":2297,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2320","page","type-page","status-publish"],"yoast_head":"\nBolzano<\/h2>\n
