An enticing guide!
Take a step back in time while hiking along the GEOPARC.

At the foot of the Weißhorn / Corno Bianco, a small streamlet dug a deep valley in the mountain over the course of millions of years, thus creating a unique natural monument: the Bletterbach gorge. Regardless of the seasonh or hour of the day, the steep rocky walls, roaring waterfalls and beautiful colours shimmering across the surfaces always show themselves under a new light, enchanting not only hikers with a penchant for geology but also nature lovers, amateur photographers and people simply looking for peace and quiet.

This hike leads through the Trudner Horn Nature Park, a natural jewel with diverse animal and plant life.

This little cable car, with 12 seats, takes just a few minutes from Vilpian, the country 's most northerly wine route (260 meters), to Schlaneid near Mölten (1,026 m), located on the back of the Tschögglberg mountain between Meran and Bozen. The wonderful position of Mölten makes it an ideal place to enjoy nature and landscape of the Alps of Sarntal and to take walks and hikes of different levels of difficulty.

Next to the valley station of the cable car you will find a public parking area.
The buses of the line 201 (Bozen/Meran or Meran/Bozen) and 202 (Citybus Terlan-Andrian-Nals-Vilpian) stops in front of the valley station of the cable car.
From the train station in Vilpian (railway Bozen-Meran or Meran-Bozen) you have to make a walk of ten minutes.

Perdonig and Gaid are the mountain hamlets belonging to the municipality of Eppan with its otherwise mediterranean influences. Hiking here offers an excellent insight into mountain farming.

At the beginning of the forest of Monticolo, there is a signpost that indicates the horse riding association “Überetscher Reitverein”. This is where you can find more than 60 mews for horses, that are treated and cared for in a species-appropriate manner. For adults and children the riding club offers the possibility to get in direct contact with the horses. Horse riding lessons and longer rides can be booked, as the surroundings are perfect to be discovered on the horseback.

This walk takes you from Ora, through an idyllic wood, to the wine village of Montagna. The mountainside along which the path winds is particularly famous for the typical vineyards where the best Pinot Noir grapes in South Tyrol grow. Montagna is also the ideal starting point for the magnificent panoramic trail that has been made from the old railway line that led all the way into the Val di Fiemme.

Appiano has a distinctive architectural potential: Medieval castles, palaces and manor houses, traditional farms and newer grand villas in gentle hilly terrain sorrounded by vineyards.

Running tour in the Montiggler Wood. Montiggler Lake, natur, forest, fora and fauna

With this excursion you reach the Pochi di Salorno sculpture garden. This “garden of desires” brings together the works of sculptor Tatz-Borgogno in a small deciduous wood. "Freedom and harmony amongst art and nature" is the motto that the artist has used to accompany the creation and installation of more than 200 sculptures in bronze and marble in the garden.

This hike goes through both the Monte Corno Natural Park, a scenic jewel rich in flora and fauna, and across the slopes of South Tyrol´s Bassa Atesina. This is where the idyllic villages of Gleno and Casignano can be found. You can enjoy a wonderful view of Castelfeder, the Adige Valley, the Mendola range of mountains and Lake Caldaro to as far away as the mountains above Merano.

You start your hike at the church in the center of Terlan. Via the Silberleitenweg you get to Oberkreuth, where you turn right at the fountain, walk 20 m further and then take the Vorbergweg/no°4A to the left up to the Tschirglhöfe. The first path is very steep. Further up the mountain you hike past "Mugger/Zilli" and "Bergrast". You will reach the Möltner road (please pay attention to the traffic), walk downwards for approx. 150 m and turn right onto hiking trail n°4. Where the hiking trail meets the road again, you walk downwards (attention to traffic) for a short while until you turn onto the hiking trail again. After the first 20 m descent, a detour to the left to the "Wetterkreuz" is worthwhile. It is a magnificent viewpoint with the ruins of the 14th-century St.Peter miners' chapel below. The path now leads steeply down to the "Klaus in der Mühl" farm and then leads into Kirchgasse, through which you return to the starting point.

There is no rest stop on this hike.

The promenade route was built along the tracks of the former Überetsch railway and is therefore also known as the old railway embankment path. In several places there are benches and playgrounds, which invite you to linger for a while and let off steam.

The tavern Bergjosl is located 600 meters above Terlan, but already belongs to the municipality of Mölten. The turnoff to the mountain restaurant is located halfway between Terlan and Mölten. The Mair family, owners of this Buschenschank, is supervising as well the only forest cemetery for animals in South Tyrol.

For used hikers this tour can start at the center of Terlan by walking along the Kirchgasse until reaching its end. Here you can find the last farm „Klaus in der Mühle" with its old mill. On the right starts the path to the weather cross (no. 3 A). You will reach the street to Mölten in front of the subway; take the way on the left and turn emediately right, in order to not pass the subway. From here take the left path after the second bend.

An other version of this way would be along the Weiler „Montigl" – „Grunerhof" and then through the scottish pine wood along rock faces to a panoramic view point. From here you can already see the "Buschenschank Bergjosl" and you reach it on a firstly slight descending path then go right.

Greifenstein castle is enthroned high above the village of Settequerce / Siebeneich.  It was first mentioned in 1159.  During the war between the Counts of Tyrol and the Bishop of Trient, in 1275 / 1276, the castle was destroyed.  Only in 1334, the small aristocrats, the Lords of Greifenstein decided to re-built it again.  On a few years later, in 1348, it was burnt down.  In later years (once more re-built in 1363), Greifenstein went into the hands of the Lords of Starkenberg.  In 1420, when a part of the Tyrolean aristocracy went into war against the sovereign Duke Frederick of Austria, the sovereign had the castle besieged and starved out.  Amongst the duke's enemies was also the minnesinger Oswald von Wolkenstein.  He wrote a poetic song about the duke's besieger and made fun of them.  The duke's army could not take Castle Greifenstein, but the fight of the aristocracy and the castle's owner, Wilhelm von Starkenberg, became meaningless and, therefore, the Lord of Starkenberg escaped probably through a crevice at the south-western part of the castle.  His 18 servants gave up their resistance once they were promised free withdrawal.  Today, Castle Greifenstein is merely a ruin.  In common language, it is also called the Sauschloss.  This name derived from a legend, which speaks about the time of the siege.  During this time, the people inside the castle had to face fact that they were left with no food.  There was only one well fattened big in the castle's cellar.  Suddenly, one of the servants had an idea: instead of slaughtering the animal, they threw it with much laughter over the castle walls and down the rock just in front of the besiegers.  When those realized what just had happened, they lost all courage as they believed that the castle's inhabitants still had lots of food available.  Therefore, they withdrew ..... and Greifenstein was saved.

Flat route to Kaltern, along the hiking and cycle path. The route runs on asphalt and earth

One highlight after another awaits you on this tour. Natural spectacles, panoramic views, a majestic castle ruin and the warmest bathing lake in the Alps round off the spectrum.

The Weißhorn and Schwarzhorn are the two southernmost horns of the Dolomites. They are characterised by a wonderful mountain silhouette, pyramid-shaped. They belong to the local mountains of the Unterland and are known for their 360-degree distant views. Whether King Ortles, Brenta Dolomites, Lagorai Group or Schlern-Rosengarten: from here you can see them all! The Schwarzhorn is quite unjustly overshadowed by its actually "smaller brother", the Weihorn. 

Why actually white and black? The "Trudner Line" runs through here, the geological fault line between porphyry and dolomite rock. Borders merge in this area in the tension between languages, cultures, the mediterranean south and the alpine north. A delight of enriching contrasts!

Starting from theHauptplatz/Piazza Principale in Auer, through the beautiful, historic labyrinth of alleys in the direction of the waterfall. Via the "Katzenleiter" hiking path steeply uphill to the beautiful "Leiterburg".
Once there, a fabulous view over the entire valley awaits the hikers. On this historical site you will find old wall remains and traces of the former castle.
The way back is via the "Lahnweg".

On the Weißhorn, with impressive views of the GEOPARC Bletterbach World Natural Heritage Site and the surrounding Dolomite peaks. The surroundings of the Weißhorn, the local mountain of the Unterland, are geologically extremely interesting. A blanket of white shell limestone scree (glacial deposit) characterises the picture. Botanically, the area can also hold its own.
