Fruits and wine
The mild climate and favourable location means that fruit thrives on the flat valley floor. Nals also boasts cypresses, cedars and palms. The production of wine is also very important here, not to mention the growing of juicy apples.
Everywhere can be found flowering gardens and parks that alternate with meadows and vineyards.

Village of roses
Visitors will notice that the gardens of most local houses feature many different types of roses, which flower here from April to the end of October. The village of Nals is thus often also called the “rose village”.
Worth seeing too is the parish church of Nals, dedicated to St Ulrich and one of the most idiosyncratic baroque churches in South Tyrol.
