Adventurous Labyrinth path beneath the Latemar: A hike through forest and an impressive sea of rocks with winding paths – an experience for young and old alike.

The Labyrinth path runs below the Latemar mountain range, first through forest and then through an impressive sea of rocks, created by several rockfalls. The trail winds over, under, and between the massive, jumbled boulders, offering a varied adventure (in some sections the use of hands is required). Its labyrinth-like course makes this hike a wonderful experience for both young and old.
