Plomboden lakes circular hike on the Monte Tramontana on Ciardes
A line of chestnut groves extends from the abbey of Novacella/Neustift near Bressanone/Brixen all along the slopes of the Isarco Valley as far as the high plateau of the Rittner and down into the Bolzano/Bozen valley as far as Runkelstein castle with its fabled frescoes: the ideal route for the “Keschtnweg”. It should not only be thought of as an Autumn excursion though, because the landscape is extremely attractive all year round thanks to the diverse vegetation of the area.

The hike begins at the car park (1,729 m) of the Rescher Alm mountain pasture in the Rojental valley. The car park is on the right side of the street. From here you follow trail no. 4 for about an hour to the Rescher Alm mountain pasture at 2.000 m (refreshments available). Continue past the pasture, along the military path, until trail no. 5 branches off to the left. This leads up to the summit of the Piz Lad at 2,180 metres. This mountain lies between Austria, Italy and Switzerland. It promises a wonderful view of the Lake Resia as well as the Grüner See and Schwarzer See in Nauders. The border triangle is 700 metres to the north, below the summit cross, at 2,180 metres. Back to the valley you can take the ascent route or the southern ridge towards Grubenjoch. Shortly before, the path leads down to the left in hairpin bends and joins the ascent route halfway. Magnificent views in all directions and with some luck you can see some ibexes.
A hike with a fantastic panorama and historical highlights. The tour starts below the sports field in Reschen/Resia. Follow the path signposted no. 2 in the direction of Plamort. Walk along the forest road for about an hour until you reach the plateau. Here you can explore the first bunkers, a complete defence system from the Second World War. If interested, follow the signs at the Oculus information board to the anti-tank barriers on the left hand side of the forest road. Alongside the anti-tank barriers to the east the path branches off to the south. A little further on, directly after the hill, a breath-taking panorama awaits you at the viewing rock. For the descent, not far from the panorama point, a narrower and steeper path no. 1A on the left leads back to Reschen.
Note: If the descent is too steep, follow the forest road instead and continue on the same route as on the ascent.
From the starting point, the forest road leads slightly uphill at first, before starting to descend to the lowest point of the path, at 1,743 meters of altitude, at kilometer 1.4. From here, a forest road leads to the last longer ascent to Baita Pozzi cabin. Returning on the same way back makes for a varied 10 kilometers training trail. The route can also be combined with the Pozzi Trail up to Passo Oclini, for a total of 8.8 kilometers trail.
