Holidays in Terlan
The idyllic wine village and its districts Vilpian and Siebeneich are located in the middle of vineyards and fruit orchards in Southern South Tyrol, at 248 m above sea level.
The provincial capital is 10 km away from Terlan, Meran about 16 km. The village is known mainly for two things: white wines and asparagus.
The Gothic parish church dates back to the 14th century and is one of the village's most important cultural attractions.

Terlan is one of the villages on the South Tyrolean wine route and is not least known thanks to its eponymous winery, ranking among the leading winegrowers’ cooperatives in South Tyrol.
The Maria Himmelfahrt parish church of Terlan is mainly known for its leaning church tower as well as for the most significant treasure of frescoes in South Tyrol.
High above Terlan, there is the ruin of Maultasch or Neuhaus Castle. Here, Margaret, Countess of Tyrol, stayed several times. Also, the original asparagus from Terlan is named after Margarete. To the castle, there is a short but wonderful hiking path with a wonderful view of Etschtal Valley.
With its districts Vilpian and Siebeneich, Terlan forms the so-called asparagus triangle. The special soil conditions of the area are ideal for the cultivation of asparagus, served in the local restaurants in April and May.
Spring is the perfect season for cosy walks and hikes across flowering fruit orchards.
