Calvary church
St. Michael | Eppan
For safety reasons, the hiking trail to the Gleif church will be rerouted until further notice due to the construction work at the ice stadium. The detour is via Pigenò.
Appropriate bilingual signs have been put up. The original passageway has been secured with barrier tape and marked with the words “Passage prohibited due to construction work” to ensure a safe detour.
The beautiful little church on the hill behind St. Michael | Eppan is the popular Calvary church. It was built from the middle of the 18th century and is the conclusion of the Passion of Christ. The decoration of the individual stations of Calvary, a place of devotion and pilgrimage to the Passion of Christ, took a great deal of time. It was not until the 19th century that the last figures were completed. The Calvary church is particularly impressive with its two domed towers, unique decorations and groined vaults, which are typical of the Renaissance period. A leisurely hike through the Passion Trail to this unique little church is almost a must. Once you reach your destination, enjoy a breathtaking view of the whole of Eppan.
Location:
Calvary Appiano
History:
Built from 1716, the Calvary church completes the Eppan Passion Path, which, inspired by the construction of the first Bozen Calvary, was created by the Eppan Fathers in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Architectural style:
The funeral church with two small domed towers, groined vault and stucco decorations can be attributed to the Renaissance.
Special features:
Beautiful view over St. Michael and large parts of the Überetsch.
Hikes:
If you are planning hikes to the ice holes, to Matschatsch, to the Kematscharte, the Mendelcrest or to the Gandkofel during your holiday in Eppan, why not stop off at the Calvary church, which can be reached comfortably by taking a walk from the centre of St. Michael (behind the ice hall) in about 25 minutes.
