    Family hikes in Brixen/Bressanone and environs

    For children to enjoy hiking of their own accord, the trail must be exciting, because children hike and learn best through play. Sometimes all that is needed is a playful incentive or a competition among children, for example a barefoot hike, or a mystical path to a waterfall in the forest, where the offspring can play and perceive their environment with their own, childlike, inquiring eyes.
