The Gletscherschliffe in #Merano is a large, sloped rock with a very smooth surface. During the ice-age, a glacier moved over this rock and sanded it down. Today it is located next to the #Tappeinerweg (a panoramic walk over the city), and kids love to climb up the slope. #FootpathFriday #Sudtirol

In my last posts, I showed two beautiful #belleepoque buildings in #Merano, Italy, which was a tourism destination for wealthy people from Germany and Austria.
So what would they do there? For example, take a walk on the #Tappeinerweg, an easy footpath with views over the city. It was created/sponsored by doctor Franz Tappeiner, who reccomended light exercise and the "good", local air as a cure against tuberculosis. Not sure about this cure, but the walk is very nice to this day. #SilentSunday
