Holidays in Marlengo

Marlengo is located westerly of Merano at the foot of the Marlinger Berg just were the Passer river flows into the Etsch river. From there is a beautiful view over Merano, into the Etsch Valley and to the Sarntaler Alps.

Above Marlengo is the Vigiljoch, which is a part of the Marteller ridge of the Ortler Alps and a popular destination for excursions. Along the hillside runs also the well known Marlinger Waalweg from Lana to Töll.

The old parish church of Marlengo was first mentioned in records in 1166. However it is not preserved entirly and the existing parts are now used as chapel and vestry. Well worth seeing is also the new parish church "Assumption Day", which was inaugurated in 1901, with its church bell "Annamaria" from 1847.
