Farmstead Hike on Marlinger Berg Mountain with start in the car park below Lebenberg Castle.
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.

Circular Hike on Marlinger Berg Mountain along the irrigation channel and the Höhenweg of Marlengo.
The Eichhörnchenweg trail trail in Marling/Marlengo functions as an educational nature trail and is identified with the emblem of a squirrel. The one km family-friendly circuit has 23 interactive stations which allow visitors to learn about the local environment while also experiencing adventures for themselves. The circuit is designed as an educational nature trail comprised of games, sports and relaxation, and to help hikers learn about forest life and wood in the process. A high rope facility within the Natur- & Erlebnisweg trail and a natural laboratory is fun for all age groups, encouraging visitors to play and experiment with wood.
Gentle, buggy-friendly promenade walk on the southern slopes of Bolzano
The walk near the city provides visitors with countless breath-taking views and can be recommended at all times of the year. Even in deepest winter there are plenty of opportunities for observing nature, as the local microclimate ensures that it is exceptionally mild here throughout the year. We’re always surrounded by a thriving natural environment and, although the promenade is artificially laid out and has been landscaped in many places, this is nevertheless a retreat where unspoilt nature can be enjoyed.
Waalwege are paths along the ancient irrigation channels. From the Ungericht Hof farm (Neolithic engraved stone), follow the road for approx. 10 minutes up to the Mutlechnerhof farm (837m) from where the markers lead in a further 15 minutes to the 600-year-old Caines canal along a more or less flat trail. Follow this to its origin, the irrigation canal frame at the Finelebach stream (1,020m). This will take about 90 minutes. On the other side of the bridge, hike to the right of the canal some 100 m down into the valley, then turn sharply to the left onto the lower canal trail that takes you through shady woods back to the Ungericht Hof.
The path is not suitable for pushchairs.
