Slow down
Quiet places near the Kiendl
Thanks to the Kiendl's location in the middle of the Naiftal valley, surrounded by woods, you will find numerous quiet places for moments of pause and tranquillity.
A few minutes' walk from the Kiendl, a rocky outcrop called “Roll” rises up in the middle of the forests of the Naiftal. A small bench in the shade of old trees is ideal for relaxing moments with a view or a short break on a hike to the Schenner Waalweg.
Or how about an evening stroll through the woods?
The small Naif Chapel, built in honour of the Immaculate Conception and St Anthony of Padua, is just a few minutes' walk away. Discover this unique place of tranquillity, where hermits once found inner peace. From a side window you can admire the frescoes in honour of the Mother of God.
Where a blacksmith once skillfully shaped iron, you will now find one of the Kiendlhof's apple orchards, idyllically situated in the middle of dense woodland and close to the Naif stream.
This peaceful spot is ideal for yoga or romantic picnics for two before sunset - where only the sound of the stream and the chirping of the birds break the silence.
The legendary mountain church on the high plateau of Hafling offers fantastic views of the wintry Merano region.
Like many other mountain churches in South Tyrol, the St. Kathrein church in Hafling was built on a site that was originally a pagan place of worship. A prehistoric place of worship is said to have stood on the site where the little church stands today.
There was probably already a small church there in the 12th century, which was burnt down in 1202 and was rebuilt and re-consecrated in 1452. The late Gothic winged altar is a valuable ornament of the St. Kathrein church in Hafling.
You can reach the church of St. Kathrein in just a few minutes by car.
