Varied circular hike with optional detour to Mortner Gufl cave and cosy stop at Wiedenhof farm inn with petting zoo.

This varied circular hike around Steinegg combines nature, small discoveries and a rewarding stop for local delights.

Right at the beginning you follow the Rittersteig Trail through deciduous and coniferous forests. If you like, you can also take a short detour to the cave dwelling Mortner Gufl, just 15 minutes off the main route, mysteriously built into the rock.

The trail then leads mostly through forests before climbing a little more steeply on trail [11] to the Wiedenhof farm inn. Here you can enjoy a cosy stop with regional specialities, and children will love the small petting zoo.

Refreshed, you continue gently along trail [8] back to Steinegg|Collepietra, where the loop closes. A hike that perfectly combines nature, history and South Tyrolean pleasures.

Refreshment options:

  • at Wiedenhof after 6.2 km (approx. 2.5 hours) from Steinegg|Collepietra via the Rittersteig trail

  • at the starting and finishing point in the village of Steinegg|Collepietra, you’ll find two village shops and several places to stop:

    • Gasthof Pizzeria Unterwirt

    • Hotel Berghang

    • Hotel Steineggerhof
