This guided full-day hike offers a special nature experience for both adults and children. Together, you pass through the legendary Fairy Gate and enter the mystical rock labyrinth of the Latemar. The route is suitable for hikers with good footing and no fear of heights, as there are no exposed sections or steep drops.
Along the way, impressive views open up of the Rosengarten | Cantinaccio massif, the Schlern | Sciliar and the well-known “Doll Procession” of the Latemar. The legends and stories told by hiking guide Helga Egger bring the landscape vividly to life. Climbing a series of rock steps, the group reaches the so-called Dwarf Gate, marking the exit from the fascinating maze of rocks. The trail then continues through a shady high-altitude forest to a quiet, sunlit meadow with a small stream. Here there is time for a relaxing break, where the packed lunch tastes especially good and the legend of the Latemar dolls finds its perfect setting.
The return route leads to Lake Carezza, where the waiting time for the bus can be spent in a relaxed way. Those who would like to continue walking can alternatively descend to the village on foot via trail number 10.
