CHARACTERISTICS Long, challenging and varied route above the district of Aslago.

TERRAIN Road surface, hiking trails and forest paths

ROUTE After Ponte Talvera, run along the Lungo Talvera San Quirino and cross the yellow pedestrian bridge; after a short walk cross Ponte Loreto and reach the southern bank of the river; a steep little road with little traffic leads to the beautiful churches and the Kohlerhof inn. Running along magnificent forest paths you climb above the district of Aslago and reach Flavon/Haselburg Castle, which towers majestically over the town. Return comfortably to the churches along the new Virgolo Promenade and from there along the same route back to the starting point.

After Ponte Talvera / Talferbrücke, walk direction Gries district and reach the beginning of the Guncina Promenade; the meandering promenade climbs pleasantly among magnificent Mediterranean plants and offers enchanting panoramic views of the entire city. At the end of the walk, cross the San Genesio / Jenesien road very carefully and, having reached the highest point of the route, continue along the Rio Fago Promenade admiring the spectacular waterfall; descend towards Bolzano and return to the starting point along the Talvera Promenade.

From the Shermoos parking walk along the path E5 until Möltner Kaser hut. From the hut continue along path 23A until you reach the so called Stone Men. On your way back follow the path 23B and 5 to reach the Jenesiener Jöchl pastures. From there continue on path 5 until you reach the Lanzenschuster restaurant and your starting point.

From Gasthof Klaus follow the path no. 3 first on an asphalted road and shortly afterwards on a footpath in the direction of La Costa/Seit, which leads to a wonderful viewpoint over Bolzano right below the Telecom antennas. Lunch possibility at Köhlhof (Saturday and Sunday). Cross the road and follow the path no. 3, pass the little church of St. Henry and after Fritscher turn right towards Bolzano until you cross path no. 10A which leads to Virgolo/Virgl. The baroque Church of the Holy Sepulchre dating from the 17th century and the Church of St. Vigil with gothic frescoes depicting the story of Mary and St. Vigil can be visited on Wednesday afternoons from 3 to 4 p.m. From there you can walk down Via del Calvario/Kalvarienbergstraße to the centre of Bolzano.
