Activities
Around the Untermathon farm, nature begins right outside the front door. Whether leisurely walks, extensive hikes or sporty mountain tours – everyone will find their own rhythm here. The surrounding meadows, forests and alpine pastures invite you to leave everyday life behind and experience South Tyrol with all your senses.
The Knottnkino
Don’t miss the natural open-air cinema with its 30 wooden cinema chairs on the Rotstein Knott!
Merano Spa Town
The spa town of Merano is just a short drive away and combines alpine scenery with Mediterranean flair. Palm trees, promenades and historic buildings characterize the townscape. Cafés, boutiques and markets invite you to stroll around, while the Therme Meran offers relaxation at the highest level.
Trauttmansdorff Castle
The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle are among the most beautiful gardens in Europe. Exotic plants, themed gardens, and spectacular viewpoints extend over 12 hectares. The view over Merano and the Adige Valley is unique.
The Stoanernen Mandln
The legendary “Stoanernen Mandln” are located on a high plateau with panoramic views – mysterious stone figures that have defied wind and weather for centuries. The path to get there is a rewarding hike with far-reaching views over South Tyrol.
Spring
In spring, it’s not just the Easter bunny hiding its eggs, but nature also comes back to life. The tulips and daffodils sprout, and the meadows are lush green again. The entire apple orchard is in full bloom, a true sea of blossoms awaits you.

Hiking tip in summer
Stoanerne Mandln (Stone Men)
At this magical place of power above Vöran and Hafling, over 100 mysterious stone figures pile up – they have been standing here on the high Reisch for at least 500 years – framed by a magnificent 360-degree mountain backdrop.
The Stoanernen Mandln are a uniquely beautiful excursion destination that can be reached from Vöran (starting point car park above Gasthof Grüner Baum) in a three-hour mountain tour.
Tip: Sunrise hike to the Stoanernen Mandln
The tourist association organizes this mountain tour regularly. Accompanied by an experienced mountain guide, the shuttle bus (from Vöran) takes over the first few meters in altitude. The tour is crowned by a breathtaking sunrise on the mountain and a delicious breakfast on the alpine pasture.
Autumn

Nordic Walking
Popular meeting points for Nordic walkers are the paths of the extensive forest and pasture areas in Hafling, Vöran and Meran 2000. The hiking paradise above Meran offers numerous walking routes with varying degrees of difficulty, including seven signposted panorama walking routes.
Winter
The Meran 2000 ski area is only a 15-minute drive from us. In addition to skiing, it’s a great place for hiking, either on the winter hiking trails or with snowshoes. Our meadows around the farm have some slopes where you can go tobogganing. Also, building a snowman or having an extensive snowball fight with Mom and Dad should not be missed!
Immerse yourself in farm life
We are a dairy farm with livestock farming. We have cows, young cattle and calves, as well as sheep, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens and pigs. We start our daily work in the barn at 4:30 a.m., as farmer Daniel has to bring the fresh milk to the village center by 6:30 a.m., where the tanker of the Meraner Milchhof comes to load the fresh milk.
In the evening you have the opportunity to visit us in the barn and experience the daily work on a farm. You are welcome to help feed the animals and enjoy the freshly milked milk.
