Wandelingen in het zuiden van Zuid-Tirol

Farmstead Hike on Marlinger Berg Mountain with start in the car park below Lebenberg Castle.

This short hike leads to the Waidmannalm Mountain Hut in Meran 2000. It is very easy walk and suitable for families with children.

The famous little church in St. Kathrein is situated on a rise in Hafling and can be seen from far away in Meran and Environs. The Romanesque church has its origins in the 13th century and features well-preserved frescos from the 14th century. Fantastic views of the city of Meran as well as the Texelgruppe range can be enjoyed from the church.

Put on your snowshoes and set off for a magical adventure across the Armentara meadows covered in a soft and white blanket of snow. As soon as you take your first steps on the fresh snow, a unique panorama of the imposing Sas dla Crusc massif will sorround you. Once you reach the La Crusc hut, you can finally enjoy one of the typical Ladin dishes. We also recommend a visit to the highest little church in Europe, which is located just a few steps from the hut.

Circular Hike on Marlinger Berg Mountain along the irrigation channel and the Höhenweg of Marlengo.

The Knottnkino (Knott meaning rock, kino meaning cinema) is one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Vöran/Verano and is located upon the Rotstein Knott mountain. In the seats made from steel and chestnut wood designed and positioned by the artist Franz Messner from Ritten/Renon, one can enjoy unique views of the Texelgrupperange all the way to Penegal mountain and the Weißhorn peak, as though sitting comfortably in a cinema. But the film is always changing in the Knottnkino: daily, hourly, with the time of day and the changing of the season, with the climate and weather, there is always something new to see...

This easy hike from Vöran/Verano to Hafling/Avelengo is suitable for everyone and even doable with a stroller. There are several places to stop and eat along the way -all of which have terraces with delightful views.

Once you have left the village centre, you will understand why La Val is called the village of Alpine meadows: green, well-kept meadows will constantly surround you during this hike. The man-made landscape between 1300 and 2000 metres above sea level developed through the hard work of our farming ancestors, which today is facilitated by the use of agricultural machinery. 

As the altitude increases, so does the consistency of the meadows: from meagre meadows to the larch meadows of Armentara. Along the route you will find wonderful viewpoints, a sulphurous water spring at Al Bagn and several refreshment points where you can refresh yourself with some of the delicious Ladin specialities that can satisfy every palate: try the typical bales (dumplings) or snack on a well-earned slice of strudel.

Every year, the non-competitive half-marathon 'Tru di pra' takes place on this route.

This leisurely stroll follows a country road through the vineyards to Tramin. At the halfway mark, in the tiny hamlet of Rungg, there is a farmer's inn offering drinks and snacks where you can rest (closed Wednsedays). After a visit to Tramin, we follow the same road back to Kurtatsch.

The Fanes-Sennes-Prags Nature Park has been included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites on account of its distinctive natural features.
The unique, legendary atmosphere of Fanes and the stunning scenery all make this hike, which starts in San Cassiano, an unforgettable experience.

The Eichhörnchenweg trail trail in Marling/Marlengo functions as an educational nature trail and is identified with the emblem of a squirrel. The one km family-friendly circuit has 23 interactive stations which allow visitors to learn about the local environment while also experiencing adventures for themselves. The circuit is designed as an educational nature trail comprised of games, sports and relaxation, and to help hikers learn about forest life and wood in the process. A high rope facility within the Natur- & Erlebnisweg trail and a natural laboratory is fun for all age groups, encouraging visitors to play and experiment with wood.

This hike leads you from the centre of Nalles to castle Katzenzungen, where the oldest and largest grapevine in the world is located.

The road starts from the centre of Aldein next to the Church. We follow the instructions of the road nr. 10 and after 1 1/2 we reach the main street, which has to be crossed. The instructions show the way to farms and meadows. Soon we reach the first station of the cross, this one as well as the others are made by the Schützenkompanie Aldein. At the "Bacherhof" farm starts the "Long way", called by the inhabitants of Aldein, which goes into the woods with a slight raising. Walking from one station of the cross to the next we reach the "Woller"-shed in the middle of alp meadows with beautiful flowers. The forest road (Nr. 2-8-10) leads us to the largest place of pilgrimage of South Tyrol: Maria Weißenstein. Behind the Curch we find the restaurant and the bus parking place, where a bus drives to the Centre of Aldein too.

From the main Square of Kurtatsch, the route starts up the short steep Obergasse to the little square where we turn to the right. At the next fountain the route follows Schiessstandweg for about 50 meters until the forest path marked 5a branches off. This leads into Lochweg (marking 5), which takes us to Graun. In Graun there are several places to eat and drink something before continuing back over the old Grauner Weg which turns right after the Goldener Adler Inn and just before the St. George's church. This road leads to the "new" Grauner Weg near "Kehr". Tip: Just past the St. George's church there is a wonderful view of the southern Adige valley from the "Sitzkofel"!

This walk leads from Kurtatsch on the hill to the valley floor. From the main square of Cortaccia, we proceed down the Kirchgasse, past the church and cross the Strada del Vino. There the hiking path begins, going down steps following the Milla stream to the bottom of the valley. At the end of the stairs, the path continues through the vineyards for about 100 meters, and then turns to the left through the orchards on a small road. We turn left upon reaching the paved road and reach the “Katzenleiter”, another set of stairs leading again up the cliff to the Strada del Vino. The path continues to the left until we cross the road at a roadside shrine, taking the Botengasse street past the lovely cemetery to the main square again.

Waalwege are paths along the ancient irrigation channels. From the Ungericht Hof farm (Neolithic engraved stone), follow the road for approx. 10 minutes up to the Mutlechnerhof farm (837m) from where the markers lead in a further 15 minutes to the 600-year-old Caines canal along a more or less flat trail. Follow this to its origin, the irrigation canal frame at the Finelebach stream (1,020m). This will take about 90 minutes. On the other side of the bridge, hike to the right of the canal some 100 m down into the valley, then turn sharply to the left onto the lower canal trail that takes you through shady woods back to the Ungericht Hof.

The path is not suitable for pushchairs.

When you take the so-called Solder Hiking Trail, you will start in the village center of Truden to the "Leger" outlook platform. You will pass by the Jäger Cross, and then proceed along the staircase. Suddenly, you will find yourself amidst spectacular alpine scenery where dwarf pines, alpine rhododendrons, the dryas, and other plant species dominate the landscape. From the "Hochwand," you can admire a vast and beautiful panorama. Continue on your way until you come to the Cisloner Alm (managed). From there, you proceed along the trail – similar to a balcony ("Solder" is Tyrolean for "balcony"). You will pass by several great outlook points as you return to the village center.
