Farm hike in Welschnofen | Nova Levante

Welschnofen/Nova Levante, Dolomites Region Eggental
Circular hike past historic sites and traditional farms with fantastic panoramic views of the Latemar and Rosengarten.
from center
This hike not only offers impressive views of the Dolomite peaks Rosengarten | Catinaccio and Latemar, but also a glimpse into the history of Welschnofen | Nova Levante. The path leads through a varied landscape of dense forests, meadows, and open slopes, with wide panoramic views of the surrounding mountains along the way. One of the highlights is the small pilgrimage chapel of Lengeria, built in 1952 and dedicated to the Virgin Mary as a token of gratitude for protection during World War II. Shortly afterward, you reach the “Wolfsgrube” (wolf pit), where the last wolves in the area were trapped in the 18th century. Continuing toward the Hagner Alm hut, the route passes several traditional farms and repeatedly opens onto clearings with breathtaking views of Rosengarten | Catinaccio and Latemar. The Hagner Alm is renowned for its excellent cheese production and makes a perfect stop for a relaxing break. Another worthwhile stop along the route is the Jocher farm, where traditional South Tyrolean specialties and a warm, welcoming atmosphere invite you to take a rest.
