Themed trail "Marterloch"

Marterloch: Suspension bridge experience
from center
The path to the bridge follows the historic mule track that, for centuries, was the only link between Bozen/Bolzano and the Sarn Valley. Follow in the footsteps of the traders, farmers and travellers who braved this route – a fascinating and historic trail that runs through dramatic natural surroundings.
Information panels along the way invite visitors to pause and reflect on the fascinating history
of this area, as well as the construction of the suspension bridge and the pipeline that runs beneath it: since 2023 this has enabled the irrigation of some 200 hectares of farmland.
Itinerary
Starting in Afing or Bundschen, follow trail no.1, which leads into the impressive Marterloch gorge.
Once a key location along the historic mule track into the Sarn Valley, the gorge is now spanned
by a modern suspension bridge. The old path has meanwhile been preserved and offers
clues into the eventful history of this route.
