Easy walk along the Schlossweg from the centre of the village of Dorf Tirol.

The fairy tale lake of the Dolomites, Lake Carezza is a colourful lake where, according to legend, a water nymph lives and in whose crystal clear waters the Dolomite giants Latemar and Catinaccio are reflected in the morning and evening. Lake Carezza amazes many visitors! It is also called Lec de Ergobando - rainbow lake.
The 300 m long and 140 m wide Lake Carezza rests below the Latemar massif at the edge of the Latemar forest in the municipality of Nova Levante at the little village of Carezza at 1,520 m in the Val d'Ega. It is a protected natural monument and is fed by underground springs from the Latemar mountain, which is why both its size and its depth are strongly dependent on the season and the weather - the greatest depth of Lake Carezza was recorded at 22 m.

This trail leads around the village of Völs am Schlern and ends at the Peterbühl, a hill at the edge of the village, where you will also find a church of the same name. The Peterbühl is the oldest settlement in the area, and, as recent Bronze-Age findings have proven, has been inhabited since thousands of years before the birth of Christ.

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

For those who like it very leisurely and perhaps push a baby carriage, the short and family-friendly hike to the Ulfaser Alm is highly recommended.

This scenic route, known as the Sentiero di Sissi in Italian and the Sissiweg in German, leads to the areas of town most beloved by Empress Elisabeth of Austria, better known as Sissi. The charming Habsburg sovereign stayed in Merano several times in the second half of the nineteenth century, and was enchanted by its charm. This path dedicated to her connects the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle with the city centre; it passes through eleven stages along the way, each with a story to tell. From the castle that majestically dominates the botanical gardens, Sissi’s Path winds its way past Pienzenau and Rubein Castles, the Reichenbach Residence, Piazza Fontana (Brunnenplatz), Rottenstein Castle, and the Bavaria Hotel; it then continues down to the river, crosses the Roman Bridge, skirts the Wandelhalle and finally pays homage to the empress in the park dedicated to her. The park is on the edge of the Summer Promenade and there is a statue erected in Sissi’s honour. Obviously, the trail can be followed in either direction.

This relaxing hike leads to the historic Prösels Castle built in 1200 by the Counts of Völs in the year 1200. Take a trip back to bygone days on a guided tour of the Knight’s Hall, the castle chapel and other parts of the Renaissance castle and grounds. There’s no chance of getting bored!

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.

Empress Elisabeth of Austria and Queen of Hungary, also known as Sissi, stayed in August 1897 for a long relaxing holiday at the Grand Hotel Carezza. She undertook extensive excursions through the surrounding area. This walk was one of her favorites. In her honor, this walk today is called "Elisabethpromenade".

Trail "mountain pine" e distillery Mountain Pine - Villanderer Alps

Off we go to the special forest animals on the Ritten...
From the Oberbozen train station we follow the small signs with the Pyramix. This awaits us at the start of the children's trail at the edge of the forest above Oberbozen and will tell us a lot about the wild animals. We can already see the first colored spots shining through the trees. I wonder what that could be? ...It's Fiona, the clever fox. She has found a great place for her den here in the forest.

The path leads us on to Ivo, a prickly companion who is mainly found foraging at night. Well, which animal is that?

Again and again we pass various forest and meadow dwellers. Whether it's Walter the hard-working great spotted woodpecker, who hammers a cave into the tree for his chicks with his pointed beak, or Sissi, the busy squirrel, who gathers her supplies for the winter in summer.

At each of these stations, children will find great play opportunities that teach them about the characteristics of the animals in a playful way and, of course, there is also a description of the wild animal with its special characteristics.

Breathing in healthy forest air and fun for young and old are guaranteed.

The Völser Weiher lake is nestled in the heart of the unique landscape of the Schlern-Rosengarten nature reserve, and has been designated a “Vela Blu” lake, testifying to the outstanding cleanliness of its waters, since 2017. It is a wonderful destination to take a dip on hot summer days, and also doubles up as an ice skating lake in winter: Whatever the season, this spot in the deep green forests at the foot of the Schlern never fails to offer visitors an idyllic experience.

This walk is pram-friendly.

The Malga Möltner Kasner, which lies under the Stoanerne Mandlen, is a hut surrounded by a beautiful landscape.
