From Maria Weißenstein through alpine pastures to the Bletterbach Gorge – a highlight for nature lovers, hikers, and culture enthusiasts.

This hike combines impressive natural experiences with spiritual depth. It begins at the well-known pilgrimage site Maria Weißenstein, where visitors can pause in the monastery and immerse themselves in the moving world of votive tablets. From there, the path leads through dense forests and over wide alpine pastures, past traditional huts, into the fascinating Bletterbach Gorge. The gorge, also known as the "Grand Canyon of South Tyrol," impresses with its geological diversity, bizarre rock formations, and deep insights into Earth's history. This route is ideal for all who, while hiking, seek not only nature but also silence, history, and inner contemplation – an unforgettable experience between heaven and earth.
