Restaurants in Algund

Rich offer of fresh, home-made cakes, pastries and delicious sundaes.

As the name suggests: Ebeneich, an old farmstead, is located on a somewhat flatter, flat shoulder of land on the steep mountain slope that rises in the back of Algund towards the Mutspitze and the almost three-thousand-meter peak Tschigot (2998 m). Back in the 14th century a farm was already mentioned here. By dividing the farm in more recent times, an excursion inn with a large panoramic terrace was created. This place now has one of the most beautiful views in Burggrafenamt! The view over the Merano basin, the Adige valley and the distant mountains almost literally takes your breath away!

At the Schnalshuberhof nature calls the shots: outside, amidst the Oberplars vineyards and orchards or under the vines, and inside, in the dining rooms of the organic farm, which enjoy listed building status. The special, and in particular, healthy, atmosphere may be felt everywhere. You can take a trip back in time in the 'newspaper room' - a real attraction, where you can read the newspapers of yesteryear on the walls. Open from 1st March until 21st July and from 15th August until 15th December from Thursday to Sunday from 6.00 pm. Advance booking required.

Come and spend an evening in a cosy atmosphere with a delicious South Tyrolean, Italian and international cuisine. You will be served personally by the manager lady and the manager cooks! Open from Monday to Friday.

The moderately difficult Saxnerweg leads from Partschins to Vellau. The small fraction on the sunny slope of Algund is looking forward to welcoming you!
Enjoy the magnificent view over Merano up to Bolzano, from the Ortler massif to the Dolomites.

suspension railway Aschbach

Aschbach (1,360 metres in altitude) Aschbach is a small mountain village, situated at an altitude of 1,360 metres above sea level, in the south-west of Algund. From Töll, it can be reached via a forest road, passing the Quadrat farmhouses, or alternatively using the lift facility in Rabland. Especially during the warm summer season, Aschbach is a very popular destination with beautiful hiking routes up to 1,800 metres in altitude to the Vigiljoch and to the Naturns Alm, which is situated at 1,922 metres above sea level.

The highest point of this mountain tour is the Taufenscharte also called "Karjoch" at 2230 m. The steep ascent is a challenge, but you will be rewarded with an excellent view over the Spronsertal at the top.

Wir freuen uns, Sie in Algund begrüßen zu dürfen! Mit neuem Konzept, historischem Hintergrund, mediterranem Ambiente, Begeisterung und Mut das traditionelle mit dem Modernen zu verbinden... geboren war der Name Gastro Lounge Bruthendler. Ob sie gemütlich in der Hennen Bar bei einem leckeren Burger und einem frisch gezapften Meckatzer entspannen, sich für ein mediterranes Essen mit einem Glas Hauswein Piwi vom Weingut der Familie Leiter (Besitzer des Gasthofes Bruthendler) in einem unserer historischen Gewölbe entscheiden oder im Sommer auf der romantischen Terrasse verweilen - eines ist Gewiss, sie werden gut versorgt und mit einem Lächeln nachdenken, wann sie uns wohl das nächste mal wieder besuchen kommen ... Es ist besser zu genießen und zu bereuen, als zu bereuen dass man nicht genossen hat ...

Wine and its production have a great deal to do with values. And Andreas Theiner must have also thought that. Before he took over his family’s historical estate with Plars Castle in Lagundo in 2003, he was a banker.

As unusual as the change from the teller’s window to the vineyard may be is how simple the explanation is that Theiner provides. “Wine is my passion”, he says, “and even though I had pursued a completely different professional career, it made my love of wine even stronger.” And that may also have to do with the fact that passion for wine is in the genes of the Theiners. Andreas’ grandfather Franz had already studied at the Winegrowing Technical College in Klosterneuburg near Vienna – back in 1895! In 1911, he returned to South Tyrol, he acquired the Plars Castle estate in Lagundo, produced wines for the rest of his life, and in the end handed the estate down to his son Karl, who expanded it.

Finally, in 2003, Andreas took over the castle and concentrated on the production of quality wines. The conditions for them are ideal: the vineyards in Plars di Mezzo, situated at 450 meters above sea level, benefit from a great deal of sun and a constant breeze. “This climate is ideal for a Sauvignon Blanc that is extremely strong in character, but also for Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Schiava, Lagrein, and Merlot,” Theiner explains.

In the winery, a gentle processing of the grapes and careful handling of the wine are important to him, because, “Only in that way are we successful in having the individuality and essence of the vineyard finding their way into the wines.” And that’s also what passion for wine sounds like.

The Tschigat is a striking peak in the Texel Group. The pyramid formed from gneiss offers a magnificent view of many mountain peaks. The tour to the Tschigat is not just a hike, but a real mountain tour with easy climbing passages (grade 2) in exposed terrain. Experience, a good physical condition, sure-footedness, a head for heights and stable mountain weather are prerequisites (dangerous with ice and snow).

The climatic terrain cure is a special form of exercise therapy characterised by activity adapted to one’s fitness level, endurance training, and time spent in the outdoors experiencing the landscape, which is carried out through a personalised walking programme.

So-called terrain hiking improves endurance and agility, increases speed and flexibility, reinforces the cardiovascular system, stimulates breathing activity and strengthens muscles, ligaments and joints. It has a positive impact on the metabolism, activates the digestive system and noticeably increases the expenditure of calories.
The climatic terrain cure is recommended for functional cardiovascular disorders, respiratory and metabolic disorders, and above all is a tried and tested method of primary prevention and general health promotion.
The "Terrainkur" trails in Partschins/Parcines have been certified  by the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich.

The Merano High Mountain Trail is divided into a northern and a southern part. Extending along route 24 at a relatively constant altitude, the trail surrounds the Texelgruppe Nature Park. The northern part features the high mountain climate typical of the Texelgruppe range while the southern part boasts a sub-Mediterranean climate with characteristically lush flora. In particular, the southern part features fantastic views of the city of Meran and the Etschtal and Vinschgau valleys.

The lowest point of the trail is 839 m elevation while the highest section extends to nearly 3,000 m. Hikers along this route can ascend and descend to and from the Etschtal, Passeiertal and Schnalstal valleys. Additionally, there are numerous overnight accommodation options along the trail that make it possible to hike only individual stages or to tailor the route to personal preferences. The trail demands both sure-footedness and alpine experience and the exposed areas are always secured with chains or ropes.
