What history does Salorno have and how has it changed over the years? Historians trace the origin of the village back to the Bronze Age. The entire Via Trento, which was a post road until the 18th century and had as many as eight hotels, still bears the signs of economic prosperity. Salorno situated at 224 m, near its namesake Chiusa, historically marks the point of contact between the Italian-speaking and German-speaking areas. Where many noble families once lived, today it is an emerging village with the largest white wine production area in South Tyrol. Logistically unbeatable for any travel in the region, we have put together some ideas for sightseeing and out-of-town trips for you.
The 'Perkeo' playground is located in the centre of Salorno, very close to our Gasthof. It is a pleasant place and a meeting place for children and parents. The park bears the name Perkeo. The dwarf Clemens Pankert was born in the year 1702 in Salorno. The Electoral Prince Charles Philip III of the Palatinate hired him as court jester at the Palatinate capital: Heidelberg. His legendary thirst got him another job: he was appointed keeper of the 'Big Cask', the largest cask in the world at that time.
