Itinerary
The mountain trail above Naturno/Naturns starts at the Kreuzbrünnl parking lot (1,580 m) on the Nörderberg Mountain. To get there, drive up the road on the Nörderberg as far as the car park or go by hiking taxi. From the parking lot, follow the picturesque trail as far as the rustic Zetn Alm mountain hut. Start the ascent along Trail No. 5 a, first through the meadows, then past the Alpine rose bushes along the edge of the forest and across more rocky terrain as far as the Hochjoch ridge (2,443m), to the “Steinmännchen” stone-men figures. Head northeast to the ridge, requiring considerable stamina, up to the panoramic summit of the Hochwart with its imposing cross. Get ready for the amazing 360° view, which is a fitting reward for your efforts! To return, go back the same way down to the Mausloch Alm and then via the wide forest track to the starting point at the Kreuzbrünnl car park.
By hiking taxi or private car you can get from the village centre of Naturno, via Bahnhofstraße, past the sports field and then via Nörderbergstraße up to the Kreuzbrünnl car park at Naturnser Nörderberg.
