Varied hike over the Montelargo/Breitenberg to Nova Ponente/Deutschnofen.
Change of path along the hike: 11, 1, 5
The circular hike starts in Via Pietralba in Laives/Leifers, right after the hotel-garni "Grüner Baum", where you have to follow hiking trail no. 11 on the left side of the road. In about 1.5 hours, the steep path crosses several times the newly laid out Via Montelargo and leads through shady bush forests to the beautiful Steiner farm (710 m). The effort of the ascent is rewarded by a wonderful panoramic view over Laives/Leifers and the South Tyrolean lowlands. Here trail no. 11 becomes a easily accessible road, which leads through extensive forests along the Tschuegg river. After another 1.5 hours of ascent, you will reach the Wölfl farm (1290 m). From here, trails no. 1 and 2 take you in about 40 minutes to the mountain village of Nova Ponente/Deutschnofen (1355 m).
From the village square in Nova Ponente/Deutschnofen, follow the long but very pleasant path no. 5 downhill to the Unterkirchbach district and on into the Brantental valley. From there it goes back down to Laives/Leifers.
Alternatively, you can also take the bus from Nova Ponente back to Bolzano/Bozen and the lines 110, 111 or 112 back to Laives (total duration approx. 1.5 hours).
Arrival by public transport from Bolzano/Bozen: by bus with the lines 110, 111 or 112 until the bus stop "Laives Centro/Leifers Zentrum" (approx. 30 min.).
Arrival by public transport from the south: take bus line 120 to the bus stop "Laives Centro/Leifers Zentrum".
Return from Nova Ponente/Deutschnofen to Laives/Leifers: with the bus line 180 from Nova Ponente/Deutschnofen to Bolzano/Bozeno and from here with the lines 110, 111 or 112 to Laives/Leifers (approx. 1.30 h)
