Hiking & "törggelen": This ancient South Tyrolean custom alone is worth a trip. From October to the beginning of the Advent season, you meet the "törggelen" in the Renon inns and taverns with young wine, sweet cider and hearty delicacies.

The Via Monachorum, also referred to as “Silentium“ (Path of tranquillity) connects the villages of Madonna di Senales/Unser Frau and Monte S. Caterina/Katharinaberg with Certosa/Karthaus. There was a historic monastery there, founded by the Carthusian monks in the 14th century.  Dressed in their white robes, the monks lived in silence. Some large parts of the monastery walls have been preserved, as are the Gothic cloister and the former monastery kitchen. There are a number of plaques along this themed trail with philosophical quotations relating to tranquillity and silence. The trail is signposted using life-sized figures of monks.

Off we go to the special forest animals on the Ritten...
From the Oberbozen train station we follow the small signs with the Pyramix. This awaits us at the start of the children's trail at the edge of the forest above Oberbozen and will tell us a lot about the wild animals. We can already see the first colored spots shining through the trees. I wonder what that could be? ...It's Fiona, the clever fox. She has found a great place for her den here in the forest.

The path leads us on to Ivo, a prickly companion who is mainly found foraging at night. Well, which animal is that?

Again and again we pass various forest and meadow dwellers. Whether it's Walter the hard-working great spotted woodpecker, who hammers a cave into the tree for his chicks with his pointed beak, or Sissi, the busy squirrel, who gathers her supplies for the winter in summer.

At each of these stations, children will find great play opportunities that teach them about the characteristics of the animals in a playful way and, of course, there is also a description of the wild animal with its special characteristics.

Breathing in healthy forest air and fun for young and old are guaranteed.

Ascending the mountain, the hike leads you to the so-called Schlafhäuser (sleeping houses), which the farmers used as shelters and for cooking when the hay was harvested.

Blooming alpine flowers invite you to take a rest and to marvel at the stunning views, reaching from the close glaciers of the Rieserferner mountain range to the Dolomites in the distance.
