This leisurely walk through the Laranz forest is pure idyllic perfection for hikers: fresh, woody air, a Dolomite panorama and a view fit for a king from the Königswarte (“King’s view“), far and wide over the Eisack Valley and the Ritten plateau.
The hike begins at the Visitor Center of the Nature Park Schlern-Rosengarten in the center of Seis am Schlern. From here, first follow the road towards St. Oswald, turn right at the Peterlunger farm onto hiking trail no. 7A and from then on follow the signs towards “Königswarte/Rundweg Laranz” (King’s View/Circular route Laranz). The hike can be done as a circular route - as an alternative, you can hike from the Laranz sports field to Telfen and return to Seis with bus lines no. 170, 172 and 177 or with shuttle bus no. 3.
