Lana di Sotto

Golf amidst apple blossoms and cultural gems along the renowned Brandis Waalweg path

Welcome to Lana di Sotto (Niederlana), a charming district of the holiday resort of Lana! It stretches southwest from the MeBo motorway exit towards Lana di Mezzo to the St. Margaret Church and the Passo Palade road. From the Lana outdoor pool and the sports grounds opposite, Lana di Sotto extends to your left, reaching the Larchgut estate, home to the South Tyrolean Fruit Growing Museum, situated along the Brandis Waalweg path.

Nearby, the Lana Golf Club invites you for a round of golf amidst the orchards. This is a particularly special experience in spring during apple blossom season. Lana di Sotto boasts several cultural highlights: The Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary, one of the most impressive examples of late Gothic architecture in South Tyrol, will enchant you with its sandstone pulpit, a crucifix on the triumphal arch, and exquisite stained-glass windows in the choir. Particularly noteworthy is the 14-metre-high Schnatterpeck Altar, one of the largest winged altars in the Alpine region.

Lana's two museums - the South Tyrolean Fruit Growing Museum and the Small Museum, showcasing a private collection of objects from the two World Wars - are also located here.

Exploring the area on foot is ideal. The aforementioned Brandis Waalweg path, Lana's most famous hiking trail, leads you to the Gaul Canyon in Lana di Sopra, and showcases various works of art as part of the South Tyrolean Sculpture Trail runs alongside the old irrigation channel. The Romanesque St. Margaret Chapel above the village can also be reached on foot. If you're looking to cool off in the summer, a hike to the hill of St. Hippolytus is recommended.
