This hike is a perfect blend of nature, relaxation, and local flavor. Starting from the edge of Deutschnofen, the route leads through peaceful roads, open meadows, and quiet forest trails – with views that become more impressive with every step.
The destination is the Wölflhof, a welcoming, family-run farmhouse where hikers can enjoy hearty South Tyrolean dishes and genuine hospitality. It’s the ideal spot to take a break and soak in the surrounding peace.
The return leg offers wide, sweeping views of the Sarntal valley, the Ritten plateau, the Schlern, and – on clear days – even the South Tyrolean lowlands and the Brenta Dolomites. A hike made for nature lovers, foodies, and anyone who enjoys quiet paths with great rewards.
The hike starts at Café Bar Luise in Deutschnofe. Follow the paved road past the sports center.
Then take trail [5], which turns into a pleasant country path, and continue along trail [5A] to reach the Unterkaplunhof at 1,301 m.
From there, follow forest trail [3], which climbs gently to the Wölflhof at 1,290 m. The farm offers local food and is perfect for a relaxing break.
The return route follows the European long-distance trail [E5], passing by the Gattererhof, where you'll enjoy sweeping views of the Sarntal valley, Ritten plateau, Schlern, and – on clear days – the South Tyrolean lowlands, Salurner Klause, and the Brenta Dolomites.
Head back on gravel and paved roads to the village center of Deutschnofen, completing the scenic loop.
