Edith Stein was a German philosopher and women's rights activist of Jewish origin who was accepted into the Catholic Church through baptism in 1922 and became an Unshoed Carmelite in 1933. During the National Socialist era she became a victim of the Holocaust "as a Jew and Christian". She is considered a bridge builder between Christians and Jews. The hiking trail shows the life of Edith Stein in different stations.
The hike starts at the Altenburg Church above Kaltern. From here, a narrow yet easy-to-walk forest trail with a gentle incline leads to a panoramic viewpoint offering stunning views over the Adige Valley. The path is varied, passing through shady mixed forest – for some sections, a good head for heights is recommended.
At the viewpoint, turn left onto the St. Peter Trail and follow waymark no. 2. The trail winds downhill in serpentine curves through a small gorge and across a suspension bridge. Soon you’ll reach the ruins of the three-nave Church of St. Peter, an important relic of early Christian architecture. It is considered possibly the oldest church in Tyrol, believed to have been founded in the 6th century by Saint Vigilius of Trento. Fragments of frescoes by Thomas Egnolt from around 1400 are still visible – well worth a short stop.
From the ruins, the route continues toward the Rastenbach Gorge – an exciting highlight of the hike with dramatic views into the canyon. The trail descends into the gorge, where you enter at a junction and then follow it uphill. Sturdy footwear is essential here, as the stairs can be damp and slippery.
At the upper end of the gorge, you arrive at “Müllereck,” cross the road, and follow the trail to the left, leading back toward Altenburg. The return path takes you leisurely through meadows and forest until you arrive once again at the Altenburg Church – the starting point of this circular hike.

Greifenstein castle is enthroned high above the village of Settequerce / Siebeneich. It was first mentioned in 1159. During the war between the Counts of Tyrol and the Bishop of Trient, in 1275 / 1276, the castle was destroyed. Only in 1334, the small aristocrats, the Lords of Greifenstein decided to re-built it again. On a few years later, in 1348, it was burnt down. In later years (once more re-built in 1363), Greifenstein went into the hands of the Lords of Starkenberg. In 1420, when a part of the Tyrolean aristocracy went into war against the sovereign Duke Frederick of Austria, the sovereign had the castle besieged and starved out. Amongst the duke's enemies was also the minnesinger Oswald von Wolkenstein. He wrote a poetic song about the duke's besieger and made fun of them. The duke's army could not take Castle Greifenstein, but the fight of the aristocracy and the castle's owner, Wilhelm von Starkenberg, became meaningless and, therefore, the Lord of Starkenberg escaped probably through a crevice at the south-western part of the castle. His 18 servants gave up their resistance once they were promised free withdrawal. Today, Castle Greifenstein is merely a ruin. In common language, it is also called the Sauschloss. This name derived from a legend, which speaks about the time of the siege. During this time, the people inside the castle had to face fact that they were left with no food. There was only one well fattened big in the castle's cellar. Suddenly, one of the servants had an idea: instead of slaughtering the animal, they threw it with much laughter over the castle walls and down the rock just in front of the besiegers. When those realized what just had happened, they lost all courage as they believed that the castle's inhabitants still had lots of food available. Therefore, they withdrew ..... and Greifenstein was saved.

The Peace Trail (Friedensweg) in Caldaro was created between 1995 and 2000 by an action group led by Georg Reider. It leads from the Sportzone St. Anton car park across the cultural and natural landscape through the Kardatschertal valley or the wild Rastenbachklamm gorge to St Peter’s Church in Castelvecchio/Altenburg.
Seven stations invite hikers and pilgrims to pause and reflect. Artists have interpreted the five themes of “Moderation, Wisdom, Justice, Belief and Hope,” artistically applying them to the environment. The sixth station (Courage) is the Rastenbachklamm gorge. The seventh, Love, is represented by the ruins of the early Christian St Peter’s Church in Castelvecchio, probably the oldest church ruins in Tyrol.
Sturdy footwear is recommended for the hike and sure-footedness is also essential in some places.
