Nestled between Merano and the Val d'Ultimo lies the charming municipality of Lana with its districts. In Lana di Mezzo, situated between Lana di Sotto and Lana di Sopra the central hub is the Tribus Square. Here, you'll find a range of shops and cafés alongside a pharmacy.

Until recently, a unique attraction was also located here: the old electric locomotive of the "Apple Express". This locomotive, which served the Lana-Postal railway line that opened in 1913, has now been moved to the Adige River bridge. It is displayed on a short section of track and is available for viewing. Cable car pioneer Luis Zuegg commissioned the railway's construction to transport local fruit. Today, a weekly farmers' market still takes place in the Via Anger car park on the main road.

Overlooking Lana di Mezzo (Mitterlana) is the impressive Holy Cross Parish Church. Built in 1940, it is designed in the style of an early Christian basilica. Inside, you'll find a massive marble pulpit, a large crucifixion group, and a copy of Lucas Cranach the Elder's famous "Mary, Help of Christians" painting. The church tower houses a 6,248 kg bell - the largest and heaviest church bell in South Tyrol. Behind the church is the Galanthus Nursery, also known as the "Nursery in the Convent".

Opposite are the tourist information office and the renowned Sader cake shop. Sports enthusiasts will find a variety of options in the districts of Lana di Sotto, Lana di Mezzo, and Lana di Sopra, including tennis courts, a riding stable, football pitches, an outdoor swimming pool, and an ice rink in winter. Summer brings the allure of the golf course, while springtime invites you to enjoy cycling tours amidst the apple blossom. In autumn, you can stop off at a cosy Toerggele tavern.
