Why you should treat yourself to a short break
Sometimes you just need a break from the daily grind to get back into balance. A short break is ideal for this, as it offers you plenty of new experiences and variety instead of the daily grind. Even a short break of 2 nights and 3 days helps you to focus on your own needs and get back into ‘enjoyment mode’. What’s more, there are so many last-minute deals just waiting to be discovered!

Why your short break should have a theme
Mountain bikers will find varied trails with different levels of difficulty in the Ahrntal Valley, while climbing enthusiasts can enjoy via ferrata routes and the rock faces around Taufers Castle. Harvest and nature walks, for example during the Törggelen tradition, combine activity with regional culinary culture: freshly pressed apple juice and South Tyrolean specialities such as speck are offered in rustic wine taverns. In autumn, the valley also offers guided hikes to the deer rut, mushroom excursions and photo tours. Numerous nature trails and themed paths – such as the Ahrnteiner Mineralienweg (Ahrntal Mineral Trail) – impart exciting knowledge about flora, fauna and mining history. For those seeking peace and quiet, yoga, forest bathing or barefoot hiking in secluded places of power are recommended. In the Ahrntal Valley, relaxation can be experienced in a special way through active discovery of nature in the changing autumn. The Alpenpalace, your luxury hideaway & spa retreat, is the perfect place to stay during this time.

Why a short break in your local area is a great idea
One of the best things about travelling is undoubtedly the sense of discovery. And you don’t have to go far to experience it, as your local area is sure to have plenty of new things in store for you. Staying at a hotel allows you to see things from a different perspective – and who knows, perhaps your local area will become your favourite destination. Enjoy the full variety – from a short trip into the countryside to a weekend getaway by the sea or a short break in the mountains – and leave your everyday life behind. We’ve put together a few tips for your next spring break here.

VILLA EDEN
Meran
When spring arrives in Merano, a spectacle of contrasts unfolds amidst palm trees and snow-capped peaks. Whilst the last of the snow still glistens on the heights of the Texel Group Nature Park, magnolias and apple blossoms are already opening their buds along the Passer River and in the gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle. The climate is mild and Mediterranean in character – blessed with over 300 days of sunshine a year and sheltered by the Alpine arc, which keeps out the cold north winds. This creates an almost southern lightness that you can feel whilst strolling along the promenades or in the shade of the cypress trees. Even in March, the town beckons with pleasant temperatures, ideal for walks, bike rides or the first hikes into the surrounding hills.

Gutshaus Stolpe
Stolpe
In Stolpe on the River Peene, spring awakens in a way that is both quiet and awe-inspiring. As the mist lifts from the river, the water glistens in the first rays of sunlight, and the calls of the cranes echo across the vast floodplains. This spectacle can be observed particularly well at the Gutshaus Stolpe, which lies directly on the Peene. The climate is now at its gentlest – mild yet invigorating, with clear air and a subtle freshness that sets nature in motion. Cowslips and cuckoo flowers are sprouting in the meadows, and new green is stirring in the old pollarded willows.
