Churches and Chapels in Avelengo, Verano and Merano 2000, South Tyrol

Parish church of St. Nikolaus in Verano, South Tyrol

Vestiges range from early medieval chapels like Saint Catherine to Gothic churches like the Parish Church of St. Nicholas or the Parish Church of St. John, with its enigmatic – perhaps even pagan – relief.

Church of St. Catherine in Avelengo, South Tyrol

Little mountain churches like the Chapel of St. Oswald or the Chapel of St. James are common. The Church of St. Anna in Aschl, which was charitably founded in the early twentieth century, is worth as look, as is the the Sakramentshäusl ambry, a mysterious jewel near Nusserhof Farm in Avelengo.

Hiking trails and historical paths connect the individual sights. Pilgrims, traders, and monks once used these mountain pathways to reach other regions – preferring them to those leading through the inhospitable and swampy valleys.
