Wandelingen in het zuiden van Zuid-Tirol

Just an easy, relatively flat walk away from the Verdins-Talle cable car mountain station lies the mountain village of Prenn. With its idyllic little church and an amazing view over the Val Passiria, Prenn is well worth a visit.

The river Silvesterbach has shaped the area around Dobbiaco/Toblach very significantly: the watershed was moved from Versciaco/Vierschach to Dobbiaco/Toblach, earth pyramids were created, but also deep trenches, the expansion of which has been slowed down for some time by the torrent construction. The Sylvesto circular hiking trail is to be on the following seven Provide insights into the eventful history of Dobbiaco/Toblach and the river Silversterbach: old San Silvestro/Wahlern, the earth pyramids, the fortifications, the greening measures in the trenches, the San Silvestro/Silvester spring, the San Silvestro/Silvester chapel and the periadriatic seam (an important geological fracture zone) at the bottom corner.

Without a doubt, the Partschinser waterfall is among the loveliest in the alpine region. It is situated in the Zieltal valley, north west of Partschins/Parcines and with a drop height of around 97 meters, plunges from 1,110 meters to 1,015 meters above sea level. The Zieltal valley and its tributary valleys and various three thousand meter-plus mountains stretch out over several kilometers to the north. To the south, the Zielbach stream flows through Salten, then past Partschins/Parcines, finally joining the river Etsch/Adige between Rabland/Rablà and Töll/Tel. The waterfall is at its most powerful during the thaw from May to June, or after heavy rainfall. At these times, up to 10,000 liters of water per second find their way down into the valley.
