The village of Terlano, the main village of the municipality, has got some 2,500 inhabitants and is located at 248 m a.s.l. One of the main sights is the Gothic Assumption of Mary Parish Church dating back to the 14th century. Particularly striking is the colourfully glazed tiled roof of the late Gothic steeple from the 16th century. With a height of 75 metres it is by the way the second highest steeple of South Tyrol. The interior, however, boasts some Gothic frescos of the so-called “Bozner Schule”.
Worth seeing and reachable in a short walk is the Neuhaus Castle ruin. The castle was established at the beginning of the 13th century and was considered to be the favourite place to stay of the territorial princess Margarethe Maultasch, who conferred the byname “Maultasch Castle” to this building.
Those who love to spend active holidays and experience can enjoy an afternoon in the high-rope course “Hetz”, an adventure park for young and old. A swimming pool, tennis courts and a keep-fit-trail make your stay even more varied. Also cyclists can look forward to a stay in the village, as the Bolzano-Merano cycle path passes by here.
Our tip: As Terlano is well-connected to the towns of Bolzano and Merano by train or via the highway MeBo, a visit to these towns must not be missed!
