Pěší túry po jihotyrolská vinařská stezka

On this segment, you will proceed from the famed Pinot Noir village of Montan uphill to Aldein – from 500 meters up to 1,200 meters above sea-level. At the beginning of the segment, you will take the "Wine Forest Water" Trail and pass by the Enn Castle and the Elsenhof farmstead which belongs to it. You will then proceed along the old tracks and through the spruce forests (common here on the southwest flank of the Cislon) and farther to the Aldein Bridge (known as the "Little European Bridge" when first built in the 1960s). This is a good opportunity for hikers to make a rest-stop and/or get some refreshments. You will then proceed to the hamlet of Holen and on to Aldein.

From the small village of Buchholz, you will then continue on to Gfrill. Right after Buchholz, the Truden Faultline becomes especially noticeable. This boundary is visible not only on the basis of the different geological strata (dolomites and porphyry), but also due to the change in vegetation. The trail is steadily uphill until you come to the ruins of the walls of an old cableway. You continue along the old cableway trail, steadily uphill, until arriving in Gfrill, an alpine village surrounded by plenty of natural beauty.

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).

The Pichl is the starting-point for the Gfrill Village Route. From here, you continue to Unterstein and then along the cableway trail until you come to the remains of an abandoned cableway. From here, the Berger Trail will take you to the Old Gfrill Road. Continue along it until your get back to your starting-point at the Pichl.

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.

On the Fennberger Straße, just before the summit, there is a signpost on the right for ‘Fenner Joch’. We follow the path - marker 3 - which partly turns into a forest road, until we reach the Rotwandalm hollow. There we keep to the right and hike uphill on the Rätersteig to the Fenner Joch (1,608 m). We return to Oberfennberg along the same route.

Starting from the St. Anton sports zone, the route follows a pleasant forest path to Altenburg. Once in Altenburg, the viewing platform offers a panoramic view of Lake Kaltern and the Dolomites behind it. Return through the Rastenbachklamm gorge to the Bärental junction and the newly designed Bärental path. From here you reach the Peace Trail and return to the starting point.

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

 

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.

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.

Hiking tour from the center of St. Michael | Eppan to the Montiggl lakes.

TIP: Go for a swim in one of the lakes and return to the starting point with the lake & hiking bus which runs from mid-June to early September.

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.

On a dizzyingly high outcrop of dolomite rise the medieval ruins of Salorno’s castle - Haderburg. It was built in the first half of the thirteenth century and is one of the most important monuments in South Tyrol. The castle with its winery is open to the public from Easter until All Saints. Each year Salorno-Haderburg Castle hosts musical, literary and folk events.

When you take this extra segment, you will begin from Gfrill, which is located at approx. 1,300 meters above sea-level, and continue to Buchholz at 560 meters above sea-level. At first, you'll have a pleasant, relaxing stroll downhill until you come to Unterstein. You can then continue along the old aerial lift trail until you reach the vestiges of an old cableway. The trail then goes downhill until you come to the brook where the Truden Faultline is especially noticeable. This boundary is distinctly visible not only on the basis of the different geological strata (dolomites and porphyry), but also due to the abrupt change in vegetation. You can then continue to the small village of Buchholz.

This mostly flat and sunny hike connects the districts of Oberplanitzing and Mitterdorf in Kaltern. Along the route, hikers can enjoy charming manor houses, wineries, churches, and castles, with panoramic views over the Überetsch region. The trail offers a pleasant mix of nature, culture, and South Tyrolean wine country scenery.

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.
