South Tyrol´s digital travel guide
This circular hike leads from the Kaiserstein parking lot through forest and alpine meadows up to the Christomannos Monument at the Rosengarten. The monument, 2.70 meters tall and weighing 350 kg, was erected in honor of Theodor Christomannos (1854–1911). He is considered a pioneer of tourism in South Tyrol and was particularly committed to expanding the region’s transport network. Among other things, he played a leading role in the construction of the Great Dolomites Road (Bolzano–Cortina–Dobbiaco), the Vinschgau railway, and the Grand Hotel at the Karer Pass. Shortly after his death, the impressive monument at the foot of the Rosengarten was built in his memory – overlooking the majestic Latemar, which makes this place a truly special destination.
The hike starts at the Kaiserstein parking lot. From here, follow path [6C] and at the first junction continue straight ahead on path [1A] towards the Karerpass | Passo di Costalunga. After a while, turn left onto path [548], which goes up to the Rotwand | Roda di Vael hut and the Pederiva hut. From there, the route continues along the high trail [549] to the Christomannos Monument, where the impressive bronze eagle and the magnificent views invite you to pause and take a break. The route then continues on path [539] to the Paolina hut. Below the hut, follow trail [552] downhill until you reach the trail junction. From there, follow the signs to the Masarè hut, which can be reached in just a few minutes. Finally, return to the starting point at the Kaiserstein parking lot via path [6C].
