Hiking

GEOTour GEOMuseum Redagno - Bletterbach Canyon

Aldein/Aldino
Geological adventure hike from GEO Museum Radein through Bletterbach Gorge with fossils, waterfalls and Dolomite history.
from center

The GEOTour starts at the GEOMuseum Radein/Redagno which shows the Bletterbach canyon’s special geological features. Our tour leads through a forest to the so called “Zirmersteig” (trail). Then we go down the canyon and follow the river upwards to the head of the valley (“Gorz”). From here we have to walk back to the “Gorzsteig”. This trail leads to the Visitor Centre GEOPARC Bletterbach in Aldino. From here we have two possibilities to return to Redagno/Radein: to walk back or to take the bus.

Itinerary

Our tour starts at the GEOMuseum in Redagno/Radein next to the church. We follow the trails 3 (E5) and 12 towards Corno Bianco. When we cross with the “Gorzsteig” (trail G) we follow this track to go down the canyon. Then we follow the river upwards until we reach the head of the valley (“Gorz”). From here we go back to the “Gorzsteig” on the right side. This trial will guide us back to the Visitor Centre GEOPARC Bletterbach in Aldino. Starting from here we can take the trail no. 3 (E5) to return to Redagno/Radein.
