Chiesette di San Giovanni in Ranui is an iconic place for photographers in South Tyrol, Italy. The church is well known for the view of the trees and the mountains in the background.

Photography Tips

The time of day when taking pictures is important, I took mine at noon in September during a sunny day, and the resulting contrast is difficult to work with. I took this shot around 6 pm. As you can see I missed the real golden light. I would bring a 24-70mm lens for a good range of focal lengths to play around with.
Another thing to be aware of is that during certain periods of time you can't enter the field, so respect the farmer and don't spoil it for the next one. You can good shots from the road (mine is).

Travel Information

There is a bus. However, the photo spot is better reached by car. The church can be reached directly via Ranuihof. There is also a parking space there. But there is a better view of the church and the mountains in the background about a kilometer from the farm. There is a small parking lot on the side of the road. There is also some parking available at Via Geisler.

The GPS point 46.63504 11.72425 is the location of the church, not the viewpoint there the image was taken.

Update: We now have that ... the whole areal is surrounded by a wooden tooth. If you want to go to the church you have to pay 4 Euro and pass a turnstile. Signs have been set up everywhere that no drones are allowed and the meadows are not entered. Oh yes, behind the yard is also a paid parking, minimum parking fee 2 euros.

The photos of this little church are not taken from the spot on the map above. They are taken from right next to the hotel Ranuihof.
