Lorenzi night at Cinema Knottn

The unique “Knottnkino” or Cinema Knottn by the artist Franz Messner was built in Vöran, at 1,400 m of altitude. About 30 chairs made of chestnut wood are positioned on a ledge and invite you to enjoy the breathtaking panorama over the valley Etschtal, Passeiertal and Ultental as well as over the Dolomites and Texel Group.

Around the Lorenzi Night (10th August), countless shooting stars will fall from the sky. From Cinema Knottn, you can watch this spectacle particularly well, which is why there is a unique event for romantics and amateur astronomers on that night.

On 12 August 2025, the evening programme begins at 8 pm with a beautiful sunset above Meran and Etschtal Valley. Afterwards, the amateur astronomers “Max Valier” will tell more about Lorenzi night and will answer the questions of all participants. The highlight of the evening – watching the shooting stars – is accompanied by musical sounds and delicious appetizers. 

In case of bad weather, the event will not take place. The walking time from the Eggerhof car park to the Cinema Knottn is approx. 45 minutes. Please bring a torch or headlight, as well as warm clothes, good walking shoes and a picnic blanket. Registration is not necessary.
