Scenic hike to Wölflhof with local food and Dolomite views – ideal for nature lovers, hikers, and those who enjoy a rewarding rest stop.

This hike is a perfect blend of nature, relaxation, and local flavor. Starting from the edge of Deutschnofen, the route leads through peaceful roads, open meadows, and quiet forest trails – with views that become more impressive with every step.

The destination is the Wölflhof, a welcoming, family-run farmhouse where hikers can enjoy hearty South Tyrolean dishes and genuine hospitality. It’s the ideal spot to take a break and soak in the surrounding peace.

The return leg offers wide, sweeping views of the Sarntal valley, the Ritten plateau, the Schlern, and – on clear days – even the South Tyrolean lowlands and the Brenta Dolomites. A hike made for nature lovers, foodies, and anyone who enjoys quiet paths with great rewards.
