Summer

Hike to Nova Ponente/Deutschnofen

Weissenstein/Pietralba, Deutschnofen/Nova Ponente, Bolzano/Bozen and environs
from center

A very beautiful, somewhat strenuous hike from Laives/Leifers, through the Brantental valley, to Nova Ponente/Deutschnofen.

Itinerary

The trail starts in the centre of Laives/Leifers. From there the hike begins along Via Pietralba into the Brantental valley, past "Haus Emmaus" to the "Schwobmiel" brunch café. Until here the road is paved, so you can reach it by car too. From the refreshment point, the somewhat stony, former carriage path no. 5 leads past the loading point of an abandoned fluorite mine, along the Brantental river through the wooded valley to the Hackl farm and then climbs north through the spruce forest to the Nova Ponente/Deutschnofen plateau. From this beautiful mountain village you have a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. The view from the Obkircher inn (approx. 1430 m) is particularly beautiful and worth seeing. You can return to Laives/Leifers by bus. The bus departs every hour to Bolzano and then to Laives/Leifers.
