Turystyka piesza i górska w Brixen/Bressanone i okolicach

We start in the village square in Barbiano/Barbian and walk along the Plum Trail towards the lower part of the village, past the Feltuner farm to the cross. There the trail becomes very steep up past the Frühaufhof farm, crossing the road and then, at the Haus Urban guesthouse, proceeds uphill to a fork in the road. From there we continue right and through the upper part of the village back to the centre. On the way there are lots of information panels giving interesting information about the Barbiano plums. Especially good for families.

The hike begins at the Fane Alm parking area, accessible via a narrow mountain road from the village of Vals. Initially, you follow trail no. 17 briefly in the direction of Fane Alm. Shortly after, you turn right onto the alpine road to Tschiffernaun Alm– a more relaxed alternative to the steep trail 15A. The road leads you up to Tschiffernaun Alm. At the beginning, you walk through dense forests, passing by small waterfalls. Later, near Stin Alm, the forest opens up to expansive alpine meadows.

The Jochtal Adventure Park offers a fun-filled family hike combining nature, interactive activities, and incredible views. Perfect for those who enjoy exploring and experiencing the outdoors.

From Barbian/Barbiano we drive by car on the street to the alps of Barbian/Barbiano. At the end of the street is the parking place "Huber Kreuz", where we leave our car. First we take the trail nr. 4 and then the trail nr. 15 to the mountain pine distillery (in german "Latschenbrennerei"). We follow the way nr. 3 and then 4 (there is also the "Platzeralm", a place where we can eat or drink something) to the "Obere Horn" ( possibility to eat and drink). At the return we go on the mark nr. 1 to the "Felturnerhütte" and "Unterhornhaus". From that point we can go on the trail nr. 3A and then 3 B to our initial point, the "Huber Kreuz".

This scenic, bracing walk above Vahrn/Varna takes you through woods and meadows to the ruins of the old Fortress of Salern, established by the prince-bishops of Brixen/Bressanone as seat of their court. With its splendid view of the Brixen basin, this is the northernmost chestnut forest in South Tyrol.

Especially in spring and autumn, Feldthurns and its surroundings are highly recommended as a hiking area. The widely known chestnut trail ("Keschtnweg") finds its origin in this picturesque village. 

From the parking Kasergg follow the trail No. 15,  after Jochalm take the right way and keep the marker 15B to the "Stange". Here you turn left and follow the marking 15A and then the trail No. 1 to Latzfonser Kreuz.

This marked trail leads through colourful mixed woodland in South Tyrol, across lush green meadows and along magnificent avenues of trees - a truly special way to experience nature. A continuous band of chestnut trees stretches from Varna/Vahrn near Bressanone/Brixen along the slopes of the Eisacktal valley as far as the Renon/Ritten high plateau and down into the Bolzano/Bozen valley basin. The hiking trail should not only be thought of as a route for the autumn, as the varied vegetation makes it a delightful route for all seasons.

You can also buy regional produce directly from local producers along the Chestnut Trail (Keschtnweg). Natural and manmade features along the Chestnut Trail bear witness to a centuries-old culture, while local villages shrouded in myth are full of tales of witches, fairies and ghosts.

The trail to the Barbiano Waterfalls starts in the centre of the village of Barbiano/Barbian (refreshments available). The Waterfall Trail (Wasserfallweg) first goes to the lower falls and then to the upper falls. Then you follow trail no. 34 and 27 to the Briol inn (refreshments available). Continue to Tre Chiese (refreshments available) on trail no. 4. The route back to Barbiano takes you first along trail no. 6, which then branches off into trail no. 3. Follow the Dorfstraße road to where you started.

It goes without saying that the highlight of this hike is the spectacular Barbiano waterfalls, which plunge in several cascades over a total drop of 200 m. But there are also other interesting things to see along the way, such as the leaning tower of the church in Barbiano.

Anyone with an interest in architecture will love the Briol inn, which is an amazing example of Bauhaus style right in the heart of the Alps. The artist Hubert Lanzinger transformed a former refuge here into a complete work of art in which you can stay and dine.

We must also mention Tre Chiese, a fascinating collection of buildings constructed on the site of an ancient sacred spring.

The well marked route leads through mixed forests vibrant with colour, lush green meadows and imposing chestnut groves – a very special experience.

This, a little bit challenging, itinerary starts at the bridge next to the bar Verena on the road direction Würzjoch. We hike upwards on the path through the meadows along the brook Putzerbach, we pass the "Balbein Platzl" with a little pond, picnic-table and panorama lounger. Following the path through the woods, crossing the road to Flitt, we walk uphill to Flitt (1337 m). Here we can take a break and visit the idyllic chapel. The meadows of Flitt offer a beautiful view of the valley with the Peitlerkofel in the background. The path downwards, which is initially steep and its starting point is located at the farm Wurzerhof, leads us to the start of the toboggan run and then to the farm Örtlhof. From here we follow the path through the woods until we arrive at the farm Pekulerhof. Finally we walk on the street until the starting point at the Bar Verena.

The “Birmehl” trail begins in the village centre of Verdings and leads through the arid meadows of the southern side of the church hill down to the hamlet of Pardell and from there up to the beautifully situated Moar zu Viersch farm. An old cobblestone path takes you back to your set-off point.

The Dolomites High Route 8 leads from Bressanone to Salorno. It goes over a crest, which flanks the Etschtal/Val'Adige valley and the Eisacktal/Valle Isarco valley.

The path begins together with the Dolomites High Route 2 in Bressanone, later the paths separate. The Dolomites High Route 8 offers a relatively easy crossing of the Dolomites. It was built relatively late, in 1981, from the existing network of paths. The most demanding part of the route is the passage from the Passo di Costalunga to the hut Rifugio di Pisa. Since there are many bases, the path can be followed in quite short stages, which makes it also exciting for families with children. The duration of the trail should be between 10 and 13 days. 

The Sr. Cyrilus path leads from Bressanone through the Europa Meditation Path to St. Cyril's Chapel. 1238 this church was first mentioned. 1654 the Romanesque nave was extended with a choir.

The eight reflection points are dedicated to Christian Europe and his saints.
