Wandelen met kinderen in Zuid-Tirol

A popular, medium-length and panoramic circular hike at the Sun Mountain of Laces

A very easy family hike with no significant inclines. The outward route goes almost entirely through woods, a very peaceful setting. The destination is the source of the Drava river between San Candido/Innichen and Dobbiaco/Toblach. You can drink the water directly from the little fountain: you're unlikely to find fresher, clearer water anywhere.

You circle the pearl of the Dolomite Lakes, the Pragser Wildse Lake!The path leads you past a small chapel under the light shade of spruce, larch and pine. You can admire the imposing Seekofel/Croda del Becco. The walking time is approx 1 hour, the sigpost: No. 1, 19

The playground situated in close proximity to nature stretches out over several hundred meters and invites the whole family to test their abilities in the forest playground with its water world and climbing area. Whilst enjoying this, the children breathe the fresh, healthy forest air while simultaneously refreshing and strengthening their brain, their whole being in fact, with oxygen. The play trail is mostly accessible with a pushchair. It is ideal as a place to go for a stroll or longer walk, a stop off point on a day trip to the Pusteria Valley, Lake Braies/Prags or the panoramic walk at Plan de Corones. Starting point is the elementary school in Valdaora di Sopra (street Aue 16), from there crossing the bridge, in about 5 minutes you can reach easily the Kids World.

Probably the most popular family hike around San Candido/Innichen.

You walk on the  approximately 4 kilometer long small asphalt road along the Monte di Braies/Pragser Berg Mountain from Ferrara di Braies/Schmieden to S. Vito/St. Veit. The sunny trail offers a wonderful view ofer the valley and the mountainous panorama. Walking time: 1,5 hours

The pine forest “Kultur”, the unique torrential stream landscape of the River Solda and dry floodlands of the “Prader Sand” can be experienced via three loop roads with a total length of 4.8 km. 19 interactive stations as well as information tables offer fun and sensory experiences. The loop roads can be walked separately or combined.

This walk/fitness trail is approximately 2.5 km long and mostly passes through shady terrain. The central access is located close to the Parish Church in Postal. From there, the path turns to the north, towards the Förstlerhof and then south to the valley station of the Verano cable car. It is possible to join or leave the route all the way along. On the southern part of the trail is a fitness path with several points where there are instructions for a variety of exercises.

A hidden natural spectacle reveals itself to hikers at the head of the valley called Ridnauntal: the waterfalls of the Burkhard Gorge, which can be reached by following a panoramic trail.

Starting from the mining museum in Maiern, a marked hiking track leads through shady coniferous forests alongside the Fernerbach, a babbling glacial stream. The romantic, approximately one metre wide hiking trail winds through meadows and forests, past lush mossy expanses.

The wild glacial stream tumbles over a steep precipice that is surrounded by trees and bushes. Wooden bridges lead to panoramic observation decks with breathtaking views of the bizarre Ridnaun mountains and the secretive heart of the vast gorge, enabling hikers to experience the amazing contact with the power of nature up close.

An entertaining alpine circuit for the entire family!

Especially in spring and autumn, Feldthurns and its surroundings are highly recommended as a hiking area. The widely known chestnut trail ("Keschtnweg") finds its origin in this picturesque village.
