The wonderful sunny plateau above Landeck is a real insider tip for nice and long walks and hikes. Starting in Grins, with its beautiful and impressive Gothic church and the medicinal water, the pleasure hike goes through the village of Grins and then across the fields to Stanz. The route leads either along the dirt road or a little higher through the forest along the irrigation channel. Accompanied by a view of the wonderful Tyrolean mountains, the paths lead to Stanz, the birthplace of the famous Baroque master builder Jakob Prandtauer and the home of the famous Stanzer Zwetschke. It thrives here particularly well, matures fully and develops full, spicy and sweet aromas. Here the route ends in one of the great distilleries. With almost 500 inhabitants, Stanz has 56 distilleries in which plums are processed into fine distillates, fruit liqueurs, jams, chutney and plum ketchup. The distillers look forward to a visit and are happy to invite you to guided tastings.
