The sun is out, you’re fully packed – now where do you want to go? The peaks, pinnacles and towers of the Dolomites gleam invitingly in the morning light. Are they even more beautiful from the summit? The valleys are criss-crossed with trails through vineyards and apple orchards, past imposing castles, around enchanting lakes and along the Waalweg canal trails. South Tyrol has more than 16,000 km of signposted hiking trails that run through the ever-changing natural landscape, including themed trails, multi-day tours and high-Alpine trails.
This hike offers a wonderful view of the earth pyramids of Dobbiaco. The material of the earth pyramids dates back to the last Ice Age. The pyramids were created during a storm in 1834. During the hike you also have the opportunity to take a look at the famous Three Peaks.

There are various stations where visitors can learn lots about chestnuts. The Chestnut Experience Trail (Kastanienerlebnisweg) is especially recommended for families and those who like a gentle walk. Along the trail one can learn a lot about the tree's wood, its fruit and the various types of chestnut.
Parking is available next to the church in Foiana/Völlan or at the football ground. Follow the Propst-Wieser-Weg trail. After the sporting grounds a Keschtnigl, a spiky chestnut the size of a person, advertises the Chestnut Experience Trail.
Follow the signs past the Weinreichhof farm to the start of the Chestnut Experience Trail. The trail is designed to be easy and interesting for young and old. Ten stations, some of them interactive, await visitors on a hike through the chestnut trees where it is all about the precious fruit.
This stage starts from Ortisei to the Brogles Alm, Focella Mesdì and the Mastlè Alp. After you reach the Forcella Forces de Sieles the trail runs on the Alta Via Dolomiti N° 2 until the Puez hut.http://www.sii.bz.it/

Pretty route with steep sections through the woods to the sunny rock ledge of Monte Corno. No rest stops.
The Ladurns Loop starts at the Ladurns mountain station (with dining options). The approximately 2-hour hike takes you past the Hirsch-Lacken, a biotope with two small lakes. You continue on the Dolomieu Trail until the junction to Teissljöchl/Edelweiß Hut. A short climb leads to Wastenegg, where you can enjoy a stunning panorama of the rugged Tribulaun peaks. Continuing with a gentle descent, you reach Teissljöchl and then turn left to the Edelweiß Hut, where you can rest and refuel. From here, you have two options to descend: either along the forest road marked with number 34 or along trail number 8 (starting behind the water reservoir of Ladurns), both leading back to the starting point.
Going left from the Ladurns mountain station a farm trail climbs gently over the so-called Mahder to the Edelweiss Hut.
