With such a diverse landscape surrounding an old wine village, it's tough to narrow down the list of experiences. It's a good idea to include some highlights in your programme.
The lush green, extensive vineyards on the slopes offer a fascinating insight into the roots of Tramin, the tradition and history of the South Tyrolean wine route and the work of the winegrowers. During the regular vineyard tours, Jan talks about his work in the vineyards, the different grape varieties and the famous Gewürztraminer. During the subsequent tasting, the noble grape juice tastes even more intense, sweeter and more aromatic. But events like the Gewürztraminer Wine Hiking Day, the Gewürztraminer Wine Route, the Traminer Weingassl or the culinary wine hike open up the world of wine and the history of the traditional wine village of Tramin to you.
They differ in colour, water temperature and landscape. The lakes around Tramin are so different that it is best to visit them all. The most famous include the Lake Kaltern, the warmest bathing lake in the Alps, the two Montiggler lakes, which are surrounded by dense, quiet mixed forest, or – for everyone who is in the mountains – the Fenner See on the wild, romantic Fennberg.
... most of the time it doesn't fall at all, because in the south of South Tyrol it is harvested beforehand. Of course, the wine is the main thing in Tramin, but the endless rows of apple trees in the valley floor are particularly beautiful to look at once a year and attract everyone's attention: when the apple blossom begins in April, the little trees appear in white and delicate pink flower crowns.
You can find some great old mansions in the typical Überetsch architectural style, as well as historic courtyards and architectural oddities that straddle the line between history and the avant-garde. All of this is on show in the wine village of Tramin. The Tramin church with its impressive tower and the little church of St. Jakob both have something special to offer. The parish church is home to the highest brick tower in South Tyrol, while the little church of St. Jakob houses one of the oldest fresco cycles in the German-speaking area, including some impressive and mystical creatures.
Tramin and its surroundings are best experienced actively. From the flat valley landscape to the gently rolling slopes and the cooler mountains, there's so much to explore. Tramin is known for hiking, cycling and mountain biking. The Traminer Höhenweg or the Tramin Nature Adventure Trail offer unique views, insights and overviews of everything that still has to be discovered during your holiday.
