Pěší túry po jihotyrolská vinařská stezka

This walk has been named after the important German painter Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). During his first trip to Venice, in 1494, due to a flood in the Adige Valley, he had to make a detour through Pochi di Salorno to the Val di Cembra. It is delightful to follow the historical trail through these enchanted woods. We can walk past the Pochi di Salorno mill, past the earth pyramids and the Segonzano Castle, which Dürer immortalized in his paintings.

This walk takes you from Ora, through an idyllic wood, to the wine village of Montagna. The mountainside along which the path winds is particularly famous for the typical vineyards where the best Pinot Noir grapes in South Tyrol grow. Montagna is also the ideal starting point for the magnificent panoramic trail that has been made from the old railway line that led all the way into the Val di Fiemme.

The 3D trail Entiklar - Margreid -Kurtinig is an easy walk which can also be done with a baby carriage. The trail goes from Margreid to Kurtinig through fruit orchards and vineyards and past biotopes where you can observe various animals. Near the soccer fields you can also take a break with the kids at the playground.

The tavern Bergjosl is located 600 meters above Terlan, but already belongs to the municipality of Mölten. The turnoff to the mountain restaurant is located halfway between Terlan and Mölten. The Mair family, owners of this Buschenschank, is supervising as well the only forest cemetery for animals in South Tyrol.

For used hikers this tour can start at the center of Terlan by walking along the Kirchgasse until reaching its end. Here you can find the last farm „Klaus in der Mühle" with its old mill. On the right starts the path to the weather cross (no. 3 A). You will reach the street to Mölten in front of the subway; take the way on the left and turn emediately right, in order to not pass the subway. From here take the left path after the second bend.

An other version of this way would be along the Weiler „Montigl" – „Grunerhof" and then through the scottish pine wood along rock faces to a panoramic view point. From here you can already see the "Buschenschank Bergjosl" and you reach it on a firstly slight descending path then go right.

This leisurely stroll follows a country road through the vineyards to Tramin. At the halfway mark, in the tiny hamlet of Rungg, there is a farmer's inn offering drinks and snacks where you can rest (closed Wednsedays). After a visit to Tramin, we follow the same road back to Kurtatsch.

This walk leads from Kurtatsch on the hill to the valley floor. From the main square of Cortaccia, we proceed down the Kirchgasse, past the church and cross the Strada del Vino. There the hiking path begins, going down steps following the Milla stream to the bottom of the valley. At the end of the stairs, the path continues through the vineyards for about 100 meters, and then turns to the left through the orchards on a small road. We turn left upon reaching the paved road and reach the “Katzenleiter”, another set of stairs leading again up the cliff to the Strada del Vino. The path continues to the left until we cross the road at a roadside shrine, taking the Botengasse street past the lovely cemetery to the main square again.

The Wine Trail is layed out in the form of an "8" and takes you from the village centre, down to the lake and back – past wine vineyards, farms and estates. Ground markings have been laid into the ground so that the hiker is aware of the various vineyard names as he passes by. You will see some of the age-old poetic vineyard names, which date back to either Rhaetian or Romantic origins: "Vial", "Prunar", "Puntara", "Palurisch" …

From the village center, proceed to the sculpture garden where you can view various fascinating sculptures made of different materials. You can then continue through the splendid natural landscape until you come to the Niedere-Höfe Trail. You will pass by the Perkeo Restaurant and then through the village back to the starting-point. This is an easy stroll through the romantic natural surroundings and culture of Buchholz.

The Pinot Noir walkway leads through the Pinot Nor growing area along the Trudner Horn/Monte Corno Nature Park and the characteristic villages of Auer/Ora, Montan/Montagna and Neumarkt/Egna. The Pinot Noir growing area in Montan and Mazon/Mazzon is one of the most famous in Italy. Furthermore you walk through several monuments and historical places. The walkway is family-friendly and not dangerous.

You start your hike at the church in the center of Terlan. Via the Silberleitenweg you get to Oberkreuth, where you turn right at the fountain, walk 20 m further and then take the Vorbergweg/no°4A to the left up to the Tschirglhöfe. The first path is very steep. Further up the mountain you hike past "Mugger/Zilli" and "Bergrast". You will reach the Möltner road (please pay attention to the traffic), walk downwards for approx. 150 m and turn right onto hiking trail n°4. Where the hiking trail meets the road again, you walk downwards (attention to traffic) for a short while until you turn onto the hiking trail again. After the first 20 m descent, a detour to the left to the "Wetterkreuz" is worthwhile. It is a magnificent viewpoint with the ruins of the 14th-century St.Peter miners' chapel below. The path now leads steeply down to the "Klaus in der Mühl" farm and then leads into Kirchgasse, through which you return to the starting point.

There is no rest stop on this hike.

The Castelfeder hill is an ancient cultural landscape with settlement remains dating back to the Stone Age and Bronze Age. The remains of the castle complex, the legendary “slide of fertility” and the Santa Barbara chapel walls are testament to its mystical past. The area is of particular importance not only from an archaeological and historical perspective but also from an ecological point of view as for years it has enjoyed the status of being a protected natural habitat (biotope).

families. The route is open 12 months a year. A red “B” will lead the way.

From the main square, we follow the initially steep Obergasse. After traveling about 100 meters - at the little square – we turn to the right. At the next junction - the fountain – we take the Maria-Hilf Gasse to the left, passing by farms and tall old poplars until it meets the road to Graun. After about 100 meters turn left on a narrow side road - marking 2 - leading to the hamlet Hofstatt (608 m). Change to the Graun road until shortly after Gasthof Halbweg where the road leads left to an asphalt road at the Himmelspfort inn – with the possibility of a detour to the village center of Penon (605 m). To return, turn right just after the restaurant at the Himmelspfort. Over a narrow path leading through vineyards, the trail climbs down and soon reaches the paved road that leads to Kurtatsch.

In 1494, the famous German artist Albrecht Dürer travelled for the first time to Italy. His final destination was Venice. Because of the flooded Adige valley, he had to bypass from the cloister St. Florian in Egna/Neumarkt to Buchholz/Pochi. During his stay in the Segonzano Castle, he created a few of his most important watercolors.

A Part of the path is accessible today.
Starting from the pilgrims hospice “Klösterle” in St. Florian, the hiking path number 8 leads to Laag/Laghetti. From here to Buchholz/ Pochi we pass the famous “roman” bridge. To Garbe and Laag and back to Klösterle, you have to leave the Dürerweg just before the village of Buchholz and follow trail no. 3.

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.

This walk in the Monte Corno Natural Park provides you with the opportunity to admire unique landscapes and impressive mountain scenery. On a clear sunny day, you can make out the Palla Bianca, the Pennes Pass, the Mendola range of mountains and the Brenta Group.

Start off by walking up Kirchgasse to the beginning of the Margarethe Promenade. Then take the old, mostly cobble-paved Montigler Road (no. 9). After about 30 minutes on the incline you reach a cross-roads with the path coming from the Neuhaus ruins on the right and leading to Montigl. Continue on the old Montigler Road until you reach the new Montigler Road. Continue eastward on the new Montigler Road for approx. 20 minutes until you reach the "Moarhof" Farm. It is the last farm on this high plateau (not open to the public). In order to get back down to the valley, the moderately steep and little used road to Terlan can be utilized. Where it meets the road to Mölten it is preferable to cross it, go up for about 40 m and take path no. 3 to get back down to the village. After several hairpin bends your path meets the road to Mölten, coming out of a tunnel again. Follow it for approx. 50 m. Then there is an opening in the guard rail where the trail no. 3 A continues. After about 20 m we suggest you take a quick detour to the left to the "Wetterkreuz" (weather cross). This beautiful panoramic viewpoint grants a look at the ruins of the St. Peter Miner's Chapel that was built in the 14th century and on the opposite mountain slope you can still see the entrances to some galleries from the 15th century, when mining had its heyday in this region. The path then continues a little steeply down to the farmhouse "Klaus in der Mühl" and eventually feeds into the Kirchgasse which leads you back to the starting point.

“Good wine begins in the vineyard” – an oft-quoted maxim whose truth is unchallenged.

Why this is so and what happens in the vineyard is clearly described along the Castel Sallegg wine trail in Caldaro. Panels located in the midst of the vine rows explain all about Alto Adige’s grape varieties and their characteristics, relate the annual vegetation cycle of the vines and tell the history of winegrowing. Those wishing to learn more will find plenty of information about the local climate, geography and terroir. To round off the trail, visitors can visit the cellar and enjoy a wine-tasting session, thus completing the path from the vine via the barrel and into the bottle.

The starting point of the trail, which is some 350 metres long, is the Rottenburger Platz in the centre of Caldaro. From there it leads up through the vineyard to the inner courtyard of Castel Sallegg. Visitors can follow the trail alone or take part in an individual or a group guided tour: either way you can be sure of acquiring an informative insight into the traditional viticulture of Alto Adige.

Route: Rottenburger Platz (centre of Caldaro) to Castel Sallegg (30 minutes on foot).
Opening times: mid-March to mid-November (guided tours only during the ripening season).
Price: unaccompanied visits are free of charge: guided tours are €9.50 or €16.00 including cellar tour and wine tasting.
Guided tours: from 1 April to the end of October, followed by cellar visit (except during harvest time) and wine tasting. Guided tours followed by wine tasting can be organized for small and big groups.

Neuhaus Castle Ruins (Maultasch) Neuhaus Castle was probably built in the early 13th century as a double castle: today only the walls remain. These were carefully restored, so that visitors can imagine what life was like there, in early times.

The ropeway path leads from Gfrill/Cauria to the historic ruins of the ropeway station for material and wood transport.
