Hiking

Theme path: Meditation path to Waldkapelle chapel

Sexten/Sesto, Dolomites Region 3 Zinnen
from center
During the First World War, Sexten had to be evacuated due to its location directly on the Dolomites front. A few summers later, farmers were allowed to return to tend to their fields and acres. So that they could celebrate Holy Mass in secret, the Waldkapelle (forest chapel) was built near the "Holza Schluichte". Today, the Besinnungsweg (meditation path) leads to this magical place of power in the heart of the Sextner forests.
  • Easy theme trail with stations to rest
  • Past the "Schalensteine" (cup-marked stones), the first traces of settlement in Sexten
  • The Waldkapelle as a place for quiet reflection
Itinerary
The Besinnungsweg (meditation path) with 14 stations leads from the Sexten parish church to the Waldkapelle chapel (1552 m). Starting from the church, the biblical path begins, marked with trail numbers 5 and 4B. It leads past stations of the Cross to the Höslerhöfe farms and then via field path 4B to the Ladstätterhof farm. From here, the route goes through forests and meadows until the Waldkapelle is reached.
