Traditions and a glimpse of times long gone

The mountain farmsteads on the southern hillside of the Pusteria/Pustertal valley are a remnant of the times when the Romans began to settle in the area. Only a little is left of the ancient baths of Ilistra/Ilstern, to which the locals once flocked in search of the soothing medicinal effect of their spa waters. Not far off, a small chapel has successfully defied the centuries and can easily be reached on a meditation trail. But hiking along Monghezzo/Getzenberg also offers plenty of impressions of the hard life and labor of mountain farmers, and the ancient farmhouses are often named after the dwellers' special dedication: The Vögler farmstead, for example, recalls the old Tyrolean tradition of fowling, or bird-catching.
Half-way up the route at 1112 m, the Jausenstation Hoferhof inn is a fine place for a break and some refreshments. A small, carefully restored chapel is all that is left of a hermitage, which is said to have been located not far from the Getzenbergerhof inn. The Kustoler-Hof farmstead was named after the Romance term for a fortified area, and the Roman milestone on the western edge of the hamlet Casteldarne/Ehrenburg is yet another witness of the ancient settlements in and around Chienes/Kiens.

Tales and stories of Mount Kienberg

 With its 1222 m, Mount Kienberg stands out from its surroundings like an island. A plutonic rock formed during the creation of the Alps, it emerged from the heart of the earth only to be smoothed down by passing glaciers over the course of countless years. Today, Kienberg is a broad, rotund ridge shrouded in legends: The hike along the Kienberg trail from Casteldarne/Ehrenburg to Mantana/Montal runs past the Plattnerhof farm. Legend has it that once upon a time, it was the home of a stone-hearted man. One day, the farmer chased away a hungry beggar with nothing but insults and threats, upon which the beggar cursed the mountain, making all its springs run dry.
After a short break at the hamlet of Mantana/Montal, the hike runs back to Casteldarne/Ehrenburg along an old trail depicting the Stations of the Cross. Every year, pilgrims from Predoi/Prettau in the Aurina/Ahrntal valley flock here to ask the Madonna of the Grains to bless their home and livestock and to grant their fields favorable weather.
The highest point of the ridge is 1222 m above sea-level. This hike is ideal for those who love quiet trails far from the beaten track. Stop for a break at Gasthof Alpenrose (Mantana/Montal), Hofschenke Lerchner's (Ronchi/Runggen), or Gasthof Obermair.
