Scenically beautiful Alpine ridgeway with views of the main peaks of the Sexten Dolomites.
No car is necessary for this long, but not difficult, circular hike due to the dense network of trails, but you will need a good hiking map!

The Sexten circular trail can be started anywhere in Sexten. A short but very beautiful hike that is ideal for exploring the Sexten Valley and for gaining a very good first impression. The entire trail is marked with the number 1. The Sexten circular trail leads past farms 
farms, across meadows and through dense coniferous forests. Mostly on narrow forest paths, but occasionally also on wide forest roads. Stops along the way invite you to rest and explore

On the marks of Gustav Mahler we reach Altschluderbach/Carbonin Vecchia, where the summer residence and the small house of musical creation are located. In the summer months of 1908-1910, Gustav Mahler composed some of his most famous works in this simple wooden hut in the heart of the Dolomites: the 9th and 10th symphonies and the "Song of the Earth".

The summer residence and the small house of musical creation are only visible from the outside.

From Niederdorf/Villabassa, this varied hiking trail takes you past the parish church, along the slightly ascending Eggerberg Street to the bend after the "Brandhäusl" (trail no. 45). Here you turn left onto the forest path and follow it to the farm "Thaler". The path then runs almost flat in a westerly direction to farm "Kleinsinner". From there, continue along the road to the breathtaking “Schöne Aussicht” at 1,460 m - a perfect place to enjoy the landscape and recharge your batteries.

A wonderful panoramic trail for nature and hiking enthusiasts!

The “Places of Power and Forest Therapy - Balance” themed trail connects people with nature and its healing powers. Meditations are offered at various stations, allowing the energy of nature to have an effect on body and mind. Geomancy, an ancient knowledge of the interactions between cosmic, earthly and human energies, helps to recognize places of special energy. Places of power, zones with increased earth radiation, promote well-being. Forest bathing establishes a deep connection to nature through mindfulness, which strengthens the immune system and brings inner peace.

Now this meditation trail will bring psychic and therapeutic enrichment to everyone who experiences it as an alternative to the consumerism of our times.

The Knieberg juts out a little from the Carnic Ridge extending south-eastwards from the peak of the Helm, offering outstanding views both of the Sexten Dolomites to the south-east and down into the Cadore-Piavetal valley. This trail still bears many traces of the First World War.

To commemorate the First World War, the municipality of Toblach/Dobbiaco and the Province of South Tyrol want to use this themed path to remember the diverse, interesting and eventful history of the Höhlensteintal/Val di Landor valley. In order to show this story, suitable sculptures were erected at 4 locations, which evoke associations with the topics of traffic & travel, view of the Three Peaks, tourism & alpinism and war & defense and make these easily understandable for everyone.

Transport & Travel: There is an abstract locomotive on the former railway line, as a reminder of the Dolomite Railway, which operated here from 1921-1964. At the same time, the history of the railways and traffic is dealt with.

View of the Tree Peaks: The portal on the street as an eye-catcher and the covered wooden platform are the actual starting point and thus the most important part of the themed path concept. At this station, the topics of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage, the Three Peaks Nature Park and mountaineering history are dealt with, with the pioneer Paul Grohmann, who set out from the Höhlensteintal valley on August 21, 1869 to climb the Three Peaks for the first time.

Tourism & Alpinism: A stagecoach with information on the successful and later tragically ending tourism history of the Postgasthof and later Grandhotel Baur is a reminder of tourism. At this point, the ruins of the hotel complex, which was unfortunately completely uselessly blown up due to the impending war in 1915, are still visible. The chapel alone was spared at that time.

War & Defense: A steel sculpture in the form of an armored personnel carrier is located at the location of the huge fortress from 1884, which was built by the Austro-Hungarian Empire and taken over by Italy after 1919. In 1942 it was supplemented with extensive bunkers.

In the larch between Toblach/Dobbiaco and Innichen/San Candido is the source of the Drau/Drava river situated. During its 750 km long journey to the Danube the Drava flows through 5 European countries to the Black Sea.
