Pěší turistika v Jižním Tyrolsku

From the village Barbian/Barbiano we hike on the "Wasserfallweg" to the lower and to the upper waterfall (we need good foodwear). On the trail nr. 34 we pass the "Katzenleiter", "Kasserol and "Stangen". We hike until Briol on the mark nr. 27 and then we take the trail nr. 4 to Dreikirchen/Trechiese. For the return we take the way nr. 6 to "Schlernbank", then nr. 3 to "Feistegg" and on this way we come back to Barbian/Barbiano.

By car, it is best reached over Valgenäun to Niederflans (1.289m) and then forward on unpaved and not locked road to the Flaner Säge at the Senges valley; there you find a little natural park area (1.390m). From there continue on a forest path (no. 2A and 2) to the end of the valley and after a left bend upwards to the mountain pasture Simile-Mahd-Alm.

We start in the village of Gasteig/Casateia, cross the main road and go along the Mühlbachlweg trail as far as the signposts. We then follow the trail up the valley towards Stange/Stanghe. At first, a well-marked but narrow trail takes us through an interesting forest with a number of inviting benches to rest on. Soon the trail becomes wider and the scenery more varied: a river biotope, a newly-planted forest, low-growing mixed woodland and meadows. At Stange we go over a bridge and walk along the tarmac cycle path to Mareit/Mareta. If you wish, you can walk to the square by the church where an interesting nature trail begins. Exploring the themes of woodland and water, it takes you past the castle (open for visitors). The return is along the same route. You can also start the hike in Stanghe, which shortens it by about an hour. Quality of the trail: for a short distance, narrow, then wider and tarmac to Stanghe. All types of buggy. Things to see on the way: South Tyrol’s rock garden, museum at Wolfsthurn Castle (Schloss Wolfsthurn), Woodland & Water hiking/nature trail.

“Feel nature” – is literally the aim of the ca. 400m long barefoot path at Ratschings/Racines. Barefoot through nature, feeling fully aware different materials, like grass, sand, pebbles, marble of Ratschings, wood in all types and the natural forest soil and its quality. Try out the difference between rough and pleasant materials, the equilibration by balancing and enjoy a natural foot reflexology at the Kneipp-route at the river Ratschingerbach with hot stones and cold water. Walk barefoot is a sensual pleasure for old and young and provides significant health benefits, stimulates the organism and our immune system.

The Power of Water is the theme of four trails in Valle di Selva dei Molini that await hikers with a thirst for knowledge about nature. Each one has its very own unique charm.
