Probably the most popular family hike around San Candido/Innichen.
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.
The Speikboden is more than just a favorite ski area. It is also an ideal hiking area. The mountain got its name from a little flower that grows in the high mountains – Alpine valerian, or “Speik” in German – and that is in fact because this lovely flower is often found in the hiking area.
With the cable cars you can reach the "Speikboden Alm" at 2000 metres of altitude or the Sonnklar mountain at 2400 metres above sea level. Both are starting points for fantastic walks and hikes along well maintained trails. Particularly popular are the sunrise walks - to spot the first sunrays while the valley still lies in darkness is a memorable experience.
You walk from the parking area Pragser Wildsee Lake in 45 minutes along the west coast on a broad gravel way with the (No. 19) to the Malga Foresta/Grünwaldalm. The walk is also suitable for families.
This family 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.
Suitable for pushchairs

The "Tru di artisć", as the path of the artists is called in Ladin, is an open-air gallery that was inaugurated in summer 2011 and is regularly enriched with artworks by various artists from the Ladin valleys. The starting point of the exhibition is in La Villa in the neighbourhood of Altin. The approximately 3.5 km long path is closed to motorised traffic and winds along the Gadera River to the Museum Ladin Ursus ladinicus in San Cassiano.
As among the various artistic forms, poetry plays an essential role in addition to sculpture several panels have been erected along the path in this regard, presenting verses in Ladin language.
From the main square of Kurtatsch we take the Obergasse, a street that starts steeply up to the small square, where we turn right. At the next intersection - near the fountain - we follow the Schiessstandweg, which continues as a narrow street through the woods (Trimm-Dich-Pfad). This road takes us past Kastelaz to the southern limits of Tramin. We return to Kurtatsch over the street to Rungg, to the right just before the Elena Walch winery.
