Wonderful hike through the Karerwald with breathtaking views of the Rosengarten and Latemar.
This hike leads at the foot of the Latemar through the famous Karerwald. This forest is rich in valuable conifers. Especially prized is the sound wood, which due to its special properties is used to make musical instruments. It is wonderful to linger at the Mitterleger, while at the Eggental mountain cinema on the Latemar meadows you can enjoy a splendid view of the Rosengarten and the Rotwand.
