Kaiserstein Tour

Welschnofen/Nova Levante, Dolomites Region Eggental
Easy hike to the Kaiserstein below the Rotwand, with views of the Latemar, Eggental, and Dolomites – a panoramic spot that once enchanted Empress Sissi.
from center
This easy hike runs below the Rosengarten | Catinaccio massif, through forests and meadows, to a very special panoramic point at the foot of the Rotwand | Roda di Vael - the Kaiserstein. From here, a picturesque view unfolds: your gaze sweeps from the nearby Rotwand | Roda di Vael across the rugged Latemar into the Eggental valley and the mountain world rising beyond. A small wooden bench invites you to soak in this idyllic scene, which also enchanted Empress Sissi during her stay in Carezza in 1897. In her honor, the rock was named Kaiserstein.
