Wandelingen in het zuiden van Zuid-Tirol

Easy circular route on the trail of winegrowing in Dorf Tirol/Tirolo. This leisurely walk through the vineyards above the roofs of Meran/Merano starts at the tourist information office. 

Starting from Compatsch on the Seiser Alm (1835 m), passing the new wooden Franziskus church, we follow the small asphalt road that leads to Saltria across the alpine pasture. The traffic-calmed road across the alpine pasture area is used by the typical horse-drawn carriages and horse-drawn sleighs both in summer and in winter. Shortly after the Restaurant Panoramalift we use the pedestrian underpass and after a slight ascent we reach the natural monument Tschonstoan, a huge rocky outcrop, which is located directly at the roadside. The hike continues in slight ups and downs to the wide meadow of the Großes Moos (1860 m). Near a crossroads, we can decide here whether to continue in the direction of Saltria to the nearby Restaurant Ritsch Schwaige or turn left in the direction of Piz. If you continue walking, after a short descent (9%) you leave the asphalt road and take the unpaved road to the Sanon hut on the right. The road leads through beautiful alpine meadows and past several huts dominated by the rocky splendour of the Langkofel and Plattkofel mountains. At a gradient, a path branches off to the left which leads across the meadows down to the alpine pasture: At this point the path becomes much narrower, bumpier and in some places quite steep. Over some wooden footbridges we finally reach the nearby Sanon hut (1848 m). The hut is open all year round and offers a welcome stop for refreshments. The return to Compatsch follows the same route.

The „Gaisinger Waalweg“ is a popular attraction among locals and tourists, which not only offers a great hiking experience for all, young and old, but also provides interesting cultural and historical insights.

At numerous stations, the Strawberry Trail in Val Martello demonstrates the production process of the high quality berries, leading past fields of strawberries and the farms of growers. Val Martello is not known as the “Valley of Berries” for nothing!

High up on the Sonnenberg/Monte Sole of Schlanders/Silandro, the "Neuwaal" begins. It is one of the highest irrigation channels in the Venosta Valley region. The path, sometimes narrow and with wooden footbridges, leads through meadows and larch slopes into the quiet Schlandraun Valley. The Waalweg requires a certain surefootedness.

A very special and various tour between Tarres and Morter. The tour starts at Tarres.

The panoramic circuit trail in Solda/Sulden is a beautiful walk of about 7 km in length in the valley floor of Solda, which is also suitable for baby strollers. The promenade runs evenly, almost without any difference in altitude, and passes by 12 cultural places and museums that tell the history of tourism in the Ortles area from the pioneering days until today. The promenade can be walked along all year round.

This easy, generally flat hike leads through the meadows and forests along the Maiser Waal irrigation channel and is especially popular with families who even enjoy walking the route on hot summer days. 

Pleasant family hike from the mountain hamlet of Platten/Plata (1,600 m) to the alpine pasture Plattner Alm/Malga Plata, which invites you to linger and enjoy the panoramic view of the surrounding Dolomites.

Ski racers and mountaineers Hans and Paola Steger made their mark on the Seiser Alm like no other, before or since. Pioneers of mountaineering in the Dolomites, they made an immense contribution to the development of skiing on the Seiser Alm: The Hans & Paola Steger trail pays homage to their achievements. Info boards lining the route provide a host of information on the nature and culture of the Seiser Alm. A magnificent Dolomite panorama accompanies hikers along this leisurely yet fascinating trail. 

With the extraordinary profile of the Schlern mountain, the Seiser Alm is one of the most fascinating landscapes in the Dolomites and one of the most famous hiking and winter sports areas in Europe. Numerous legends and sagas about witches and other creatures that are said to have afflicted this area give the largest high alpine pasture in Europe a magical touch.

With their crystal-clear waters, the Schrüttenseen lakes lie ensconced amidst Alpine roses, dark green Swiss stone pines and light-coloured boulders. This challenging hike starts at Schalderer Tal Valley, in the unspoilt high mountain valley above Vahrn/Varna.

Leisurely walk boasting breathtaking views of the Langkofel/Sassolungo and Plattkofel/Sassopiatto, passing countless mountain huts offering food and refreshments and a very unusual bench.

This hiking tour can be found in the family hiking booklet “Out and About with Nix the Witch”.

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.

This winter hike starts in Saltria and leads along the hiking trail towards Piz. From there the trail runs through the snow-covered landscape with a wonderful panoramic view of the Dolomites.

This leisurely hike leads below the Catinaccio/Rosengarten on a pleasant trail through forest and flowering mountain meadows to the Ochsenhütte hut. Homemade South Tyrolean specialities and delicious cakes can be enjoyed on the beautiful sun terrace with mountain views, while the children let off steam on the playground.

 

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.

This hike leads around the beautifully situated Toblacher See. A nature adventure trail with 11 stations around the lake provides valuable information about the flora, fauna and geomorphology of the area and, above all, explains the special features of Lake Dobbiaco. The viewing platform on the west bank offers a place to rest and a view of the flora and fauna and the silting zone. In addition, the special and very varied panorama of the circular route should be mentioned.

The Via Monachorum, also referred to as “Silentium“ (Path of tranquillity) connects the villages of Madonna di Senales/Unser Frau and Monte S. Caterina/Katharinaberg with Certosa/Karthaus. There was a historic monastery there, founded by the Carthusian monks in the 14th century.  Dressed in their white robes, the monks lived in silence. Some large parts of the monastery walls have been preserved, as are the Gothic cloister and the former monastery kitchen. There are a number of plaques along this themed trail with philosophical quotations relating to tranquillity and silence. The trail is signposted using life-sized figures of monks.

From the info office St. Martin in the direction of the village center to the savings bank. Turn left there and walk out of the village to the fire station. Ascend the Feldbauernweg to the right until you reach the last houses. There you will find the entrance to the Teufelsteinweg. From here follow the signs. At the end of the theme trail, descend the asphalt road for a few hundred meters and then hike back to the right along trail no. 4 through the forest to St. Martin. It gets its name from the Devil's Stone, which stands in the middle of the path. A boulder with the hoof print of the devil.

In winter you may encounter icy or snow-covered spots.

Trail not suitable for strollers.

This hiking tour can be found in the family hiking booklet “Out and About with Nix the Witch”.

The 5 chapels (15th century) representing scenes from the Passion of Christ. Together with the former "Görz" chapel in the parish church and the circular chapel in Lerschach, they form the so-called "Calvary Mountain" pilgrimage road. The chapel was built to commemorate the fallen in the war against the Republic of Venice. The Way of the Cross is 1200 feet long, the exact length of Jerusalem's, and was built by Emperor Maximilian in 1519.
