Terlan
The wine-producing village of Terlan is situated in the heart of sunny Etschtal, between Bolzano/Bozen and Merano/Meran. It is the home of the famous 'Terlaner', a fine white wine with a fruity bouquet.
It is not only a revered wine growing area. Together with the hamlets of Vilpian and Siebeneich, it forms the so-called asparagus triangle. Between April and May, numerous restaurants in the area prepare delicious asparagus specialities. The sandy soil on the Eastern and Western shores of the Etsch provide the perfect environment for the cultivation of asparagus.
The eastern entrance of the town is dominated by the ancient ruins of Castel Neuhaus, a place imbued with history, also called 'die Maultasch', after the Duchess of Tyrol, Margareta Maultasch.
