Enjoy a wonderful stay with your four-legged friends! Here at Marlena, dogs are warmly welcomed and you will find a paradise in Merano and surroundings to spend carefree days with your pet. There are many “dog-wagging” spaces and endless leisure activities to spend with "Fido", making your holiday in South Tyrol an unforgettable experience for both of you.
The "Marlinger Waalweg" path is the longest ex-irrigation canal in South Tyrol and is only a 12-minute walk from Marlena. It is known as an ideal destination for dog walking and winds through the fairly flat paths of Monte di Marlengo passing through the villages of Foresta, Marlengo, Cermes and Castel Monteleone. Starting in Tel di Parcines and ending 12 km later, just before Lana, it can also be walked in stages. Your four-legged best friend can run happily between the green meadows and apple orchards.
Overall length: approx. 12 km

Starting from the centre of Marlengo, take path n. 33 in front of Gasthaus Waldheim and continue to the Alta Via, where your dogs can have fun in the woods and meadows.
