Image gallery: Plars di Mezzo
The slopes of Plars di Mezzo (Mitterplars) rise gently from the sunny panoramic location up to Plars di Sopra and further into the Texel Group. Below, the village is surrounded by vineyards, pines, and orchards. The area around Plars di Mezzo invites you to spend time outdoors.
Even in the first days of spring, the Mediterranean climate, which also ensures mild winters, is noticeable. A striking building in Plars di Mezzo is Plars Castle. As early as the 14th century, it was known as one of the most beautiful and largest farmsteads in Lagundo. Later converted into a castle, it now houses a hotel with its own estate that produces quality wines.
Above it runs the Lagundo Waalweg path, a six-kilometre walking path along a historic irrigation channel. Another worthwhile excursion is the Schlundenstein Loop, named after the rock popular with boulderers. At the edge of Plars di Mezzo, the cable car departs for Velloi, a mountain village with stunning views and a popular photo motif. From there, a basket lift continues to the alpine pastures along the Merano High Route, a multi-day tour around the Texel Group.
The Lagundo Dairy, which supplies many shops in Merano and surrounding area with fresh milk, butter, quark, mountain cheese, and goat's milk yoghurt, is also located in Plars di Mezzo.
