Všude v prázdninových regionech Jižního Tyrolska jsou vyznačeny tematické procházky, speciální objevitelské trasy pro malé i velké. Například v jihotyrolském Unterlandu mohou návštěvníci na podzim zažít, jak se hrozny dostanou z vinné révy do sudu. V San Valentinu v Campo/Gummeru můžete prozkoumat vesmír a naši sluneční soustavu a v Terlanu/Terlanu pěstitelé chřestu předvedou, jak se na jaře získává ze země vzácný chřest. Celkem na návštěvníky Jižního Tyrolska čeká více než 150 značených a poučných tematických procházek.
Schnalswaal irrigation channel has been in use for more than 500 years and offers plenty to see: a Waalerhütte hut, a functional Waalschelle bell, chestnut woods, steppic vegetation, and, of course, Juval castle.
Gentle, buggy-friendly promenade walk on the southern slopes of Bolzano
The walk near the city provides visitors with countless breath-taking views and can be recommended at all times of the year. Even in deepest winter there are plenty of opportunities for observing nature, as the local microclimate ensures that it is exceptionally mild here throughout the year. We’re always surrounded by a thriving natural environment and, although the promenade is artificially laid out and has been landscaped in many places, this is nevertheless a retreat where unspoilt nature can be enjoyed.
Waalwege are paths along the ancient irrigation channels. The Algunder Waalweg Trail is split into two parts with a lenght of 5 to 6 km. The hike leads along an historical irrigation canal. The canal trail is almost flat. It is therefore ideal for older people or families with children. Hikers, young and old, will be rewarded with fantastic views of Lagundo/Algund as well as the entirety of Merano/Meran and the surrounding area.
The vineyards along the Algunder Waal and the Schlundensteinweg are a special example of a cultural landscape shaped by the diligence of farmers. On the Algund Wine Trail, the history of the cultural vineyard landscape comes to life and is tangible for hikers. The simple panels describe the Algunder Waal, the old grape varieties and the work of the vineyard watchman known as the Saltner. His job was to watch over the ripe harvest.
The new Mushroom Trail starts at the kids playground "Aue"in St. Jakob in the Pfitsch Valley near Sterzing and extends one kilometer through the forest. Information panels along the themed trail inform hikers about the world of mushrooms, their reproduction, and their uses.
The life-sized mushrooms were mainly crafted from wooden elements with a uniform design to ensure recognizability along the entire themed trail. The Mushroom Trail is easy for everyone to walk and offers children and school groups the unique opportunity to learn about the life of mushrooms. Additionally, the themed trail provides visitors with an interesting recreational activity in the forests of the Pfitsch Valley.
This project was realized by the Tourism Cooperative of Sterzing – Pfitsch – Freienfeld.
Hiking along the old water courses is one of the favorite Sunday activities of the South Tyroleans - hardly surpising, since the leisurely walks can be undertaken with the whole family. One of the most beautiful is the "Schnalswaalweg"
The Stabner Waalweg trail is one of the most beautiful hikes at Sonnenberg mountain in Vinschgau valley. This family-friendly route pairs perfectly with a visit to Juval castle.
