In the wine capital St. Pauls

Not far from Bozen, in the commune of Eppan, lies the village with the „Cathedral in the country“. In the center of the historic village in the South of South Tyrol stands the architectonic art work with the 86 meter high tower and the onion shaped roof. This is the home of beauty Anna Maria with a proud weight of 3,5 tons. Anna Maria is to the day one of the largest church bells in South Tyrol.

St. Pauls is the site for many culinary and cultural events such as the different get-togethers concerning wine. As a matter of fact wine is one of the primary concerns for the winegrowing village on the South Tyrolean wine road. Therefore it may come as no surprise to find here numerous vineyards, winegrowing estates, wine-shops or even the Open Day of Wine Cellars. A walk through the intertwined alleys shows however also the one or other pleasure that has nothing to do with the noble grape. If you look closely, you can find alternative South Tyrolean quality products such as the South Tyrolean apple, the traditional “Schüttelbrot”, a very flat crunchy bread, along with cheese and “Speck”, or chestnuts – which are best enjoyed with fresh must in autumn – or - and how else could this end: with fresh or new wine! The so-called “Törggelen” is best celebrated in the local wine tavern, but can be an equally ravishing experience in the hotels in St. Pauls.

Three-Castle-Walk

Whilst walking through the impressive village, one comes across long-standing architectural jewels as Castle Warth, Residence Schreckenstein or Church Justina. Castle Korb in the nearby Missian is the starting point for a longer tour: the 3-hour-long Three-Castle-Walk. The path leads past the Chalk-Tower (=Kreideturm), up to Castle Hocheppan, where one can expect a fantastic view over the Etschtal, from Meran to Bozen. The Castle was once one of the most important castle complexes in the country. In the frescos of the castle chapel the South Tyrolean national meal is eternalized: the dumplings “Knödel” can also be tasted in the inviting castle inn. Then the path continues, across a canyon, over a secured staircase up to the remains of Castle Boymont. From here the path continues back down to the village. If you would like to visit the South Tyrolean wine capital, find here the best hotels in St. Pauls on the wine road in the South of South Tyrol.
