Each of these paths offers different views and experiences, making your walk varied and exciting.

Excursion for everybody with breathtaking views of the winter landscape.

Find the animals in the woods

We live in a stunning natural landscape. The fantastic Dolomite area is a natural habitat for a large number of wild animals such as deer, chamois, foxes, squirrels, marmots and hares. It is difficult for us to see these animals as they live in the wild. This reflection led to the idea of an “Animals in the Woods“ themed path, which we have divided into two Tours. So you can get to see the animals in any case, as life-sized carved figures along the routes.

Tour One: Start out from the tourist office of Selva Val Gardena and proceed towards path no. 14 to Vallunga/Langental to the St. Sylvester’s Chapel. At the chapel follow The Way of the Cross no. 26 to Daunëi and from there take path no. 3, which will bring you to the Juac mountain hut. Taking instead path no 17A from Daunëi you will see more animals. Return along the same path.

Tour Two: Take path no. 27 from the Ciampinoi cable car station in the centre of Selva. Turn left at Hotel La Pineta and follow the path as far as La Sëlva. Return along the same route back to the starting point.

A detailed map showing the exact location of each of the animal figures is available at the tourist information office.

The lake of a thousand colours, Lake Carezza in Val d'Ega is the famous fairytale lake of the Dolomites, where, according to legend, a water nymph lives and in whose crystal clear waters the Catinaccio and Latemar are reflected. Lake Carezza changes colour, which is why it is also known as Lec de Ergobando - Rainbow lake.
Lake Carezza is 300 m long and 140 m wide and lies below the Latemar massif, on the edge of the Latemar forest, at 1,520 m in the Val d'Ega.  It is a protected natural monument and is fed by underground Latemar springs, which is why both its size and depth depend strongly on the season and weather conditions - the deepest depth of Lake Carezza is recorded at 22 m.

A visitor centre offers information and souvenirs, while the bistro has refreshments for hungry walkers.
If you wish you can walk right round the Lago di Carezza and view it from all sides.

The Lazinser Alm is located at the end of the Pfelderertal valley at the foot of the Hohe Wilde mountain. The Lazinser Alm is a favourite hiking goal for young and old, with a wonderful location that has been left natural but is still easy to reach. The Lazinser Alm is more of a stately house than a mountain hut, where one can enjoy the summer days outdoors on their large veranda. Like at the Timmelsalm mountain hut, numerous cattle graze the pastures of the Lazinser Alm.
Difficulty: a problem-free hike in every aspect, suitable even for weaker hikers or children. Walking time from Pfelders/Plan, approx. 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Freud Promenade: named after its most famous guest, the founder of psychoanalysis Dr Sigmund Freud, the promenade is ideal for a leisurely walk from Oberbozen to Lichtenstern and Klobenstein.

Route: from the car park at Kalterer See lake, continue north to the Geier restaurant. Behind the restaurant, a narrow trail leads to the north into the orchards. Walk along these and turn off to the right in an easterly direction following the markers.

This trail ends at the southern end of the lake. Cross the road to join the Nature Discovery Trail (Naturerlebnisweg). At the end of this nature trail, turn right onto the so-called Kuchlweg trail, hiking to the vineyards on the western side of the valley. Just before the wine road, turn right into the trail through the field, following it until you reach the point where the wine road curves to the right. Cross over and now follow a trail through the field once more. Then follow the footpath next to the wine road to the church of San Giuseppe al Lago/St. Josef am See (Kirche St. Josef). Take the farm track to the right back to the starting point of the hike.

A narrow rocky gorge, thundering water, and a breathtaking view – the “Hölle” - the hell waterfall is an impressive natural spectacle you definitely shouldn’t miss. The water plunges about 46 metres down a steep rock face, creating a scene that is both powerful and mesmerizing.

The waterfall is also known as a weather oracle: in good weather, fine spray rises and glistens in the sunlight, resembling smoke – that's when “Hell smokes.” On cloudy or rainy days, the effect disappears, giving the waterfall its reputation as a natural weather indicator.

Your short hike to the “Hölle” begins conveniently at the parking area in Stein/Innerpflersch. First, you follow a paved road that soon becomes a well-maintained forest path. This peaceful walk through nature already makes the approach a special experience. After a while, you’ll reach a viewing platform offering an impressive first look at the waterfall.

But your journey doesn’t end there: a narrow trail leads you to a stunning viewpoint, where you can enjoy not only the full beauty of the waterfall but also sweeping views of parts of the Pflersch Valley. On sunny days especially, it’s worth pausing here to soak in the serenity and raw power of this unique spot.
