Tscherms: Trails, Culture and Landscape Between Apple Orchards and Vineyards

Landscape Between Apple Orchards and Vineyards

The rural landscape of Cermes extends from the valley floor with its apple orchards to the fertile moraine hills crisscrossed by vineyards below Monte San Vigilio. The Mühlbachweg trail reflects this landscape as it winds through orchards and vineyards.

The landscape can be taken into account when planning your day as the setting for the trails: the Mühlbachweg runs through orchards and vineyards, while the Via Alta di Marlengo and the Marlinger Waalweg begin in Cermes.

Trails, Watercourses and Routes

The Mühlbachweg in Tscherms follows the historic Mühlbach, a constructed watercourse that once supplied mills and irrigation systems. As a short walking trail through orchards and vineyards, it is suitable for children and pushchairs. The Via Alta di Marlengo from Cermes is a moderately difficult hike along the Marlinger Höhenroute and the Marlinger irrigation channel. The Marlinger Waalweg runs for 12 kilometres from Cermes to Tel at the entrance to the Vinschgau Valley.

This creates a clear distinction between distance and difficulty when planning your day: the 12 kilometres of the Waalweg indicate a fixed distance, while the Via Alta, as a moderately difficult hike, has its own difficulty rating. The Mühlbachweg focuses on a different trail length, with its short walking route; its suitability for children and pushchairs complements this specific framework. Those who plan their routes according to their specific character can choose between a short walking route, a moderately difficult hike and a 12-kilometre route. Along the Mühlbachweg, the former supply of mills and irrigation systems and the orchards and vineyards are part of the same route.
