Fancy a varied hike where you can experience the secrets of nature? This guided tour through the Texelgruppe Nature Park has the motto "Precious water" - because water has played a central role here for centuries: as a life-giver, landscape shaper and also as part of the regional culture via the historic irrigation channels. The hike starts at the "Kratzegg" car park in Ulfas and leads us first to the Ulfaseralm hut. We continue through flowering mountain meadows, where a variety of alpine herbs grow, to the Hahnl - a panoramic mountain ridge with an impressive panoramic view over the entire Passeiertal Valley. From the Hahnl we descend to the Waalerhütte hut and then follow the Ulfaser Waalweg - a quiet, water-accompanied path that takes us back to the "Kratzegg" car park. You will be accompanied by a trained nature park guide, who will provide fascinating insights along the way: which plants grow here? How does the landscape change throughout the year? Which animals are native, and how do humans and nature share this space? The tour is part of a series of nine guided hikes through the Texelgruppe Nature Park - each with a different destination, each path offering new perspectives. Walking time: approx. 4 h | difference in altitude: approx. 580 m The event will be in German and Italian.

Together with Alfred, we explore the Tru di Lersc – a trail filled with stories, scents, leaves, and roots. In autumn, the trees glow in shades of gold and copper, and the forest begins to speak, sharing its tales with every step. A nature experience that enchants both young and old.

Note: The hike is only in German and Italian. The farm hike with a lot of history starts in Vernagt at the church. It goes over the dam where it joins the circular lake trail. From here you can get a good view of the church tower in the lake in spring, which bears witness to the flooding of the village of Vernagt in the 1950s. In autumn, the colourful larch trees are reflected in the crystal-clear water of the lake. At the end of the lake, turn right along path no. 8 towards Finailhof, once the highest granary in Europe.

From 18th to 21st September, we will join together to collect waste thanks to the SÜDTIROL CleanUP Days. The project is organised by the non-profit association Patron. As part of the SÜDTIROL CleanUP Days, eleven South Tyrolean destinations are calling for nature to be cleared of rubbish. The clean-up takes place in Val d'Ega/Eggental, Alpe di Siusi/Seiser Alm, Villnöss, Olang and Aldein Radein, in Val Passiria/Passeiertal, Valle Aurina/Ahrntal and in the regions Valle di Casies/Welsberg-Tesido/Taisten, Gitschberg-Val Giovo/Jochtal, Lüsen and Racines/Ratschings. The eleven territories have one thing in common: they all strive to spread a conscious and respectful approach to nature. Furthermore, in IDM South Tyrol we have found a partner who cares as much about our planet as we do. The concept is easy to explain: by forming small groups, numerous nature lovers set out to collect rubbish scattered in forests, on the shores of lakes, in municipalities... in short, wherever rubbish has been left behind. Anyone can participate: Registration and coordination of the routes takes place via the CleanUP Map (interactive map) at www.patron-nature.org/en/cleanup/south-tyrol. Here, participants can directly enter their chosen date and route.

Clean up together for a healthy nature! For four days from 18 to 21 September, the motto in South Tyrol is: Go out and collect rubbish together at the SÜDTIROL CleanUP Days! The large-scale clean-up campaign is organised by the non-profit association Patron. Eight South Tyrolean destinations are also taking part in the first edition. The idea of the SOUTH TYROL CleanUP Days is quickly explained: numerous nature enthusiasts set off independently in small groups to collect rubbish together on the mountains, in the woods, on lakeshores, in the communities, etc. - in fact, wherever rubbish has been left behind. Those who take part on these days can expect not only the wonderful feeling of having set an example for nature, but also a special kind of outdoor experience together. All participants receive a free CleanUP Kit consisting of a reusable bag and a high-quality stainless steel garbage tong. This kit can be obtained at one of the numerous distribution stations. ANYONE CAN TAKE PART Registration and coordination of the routes is done via the CleanUP Map (interactive map) at www.plasticfreepeaks.com.
