Panoramic hike from Deutschnofen to Bolzano – with viewpoints, the oldest cable car in the world, and city strolls. Ideal for nature and culture lovers.

This hike combines impressive natural experiences with a touch of history and urban flair. From the idyllic village of Deutschnofen, the path leads through quiet forests and over scenic uplands, passing impressive viewpoints such as Rotenstein and Rotwand. The wide views of the Dolomites and the South Tyrolean Lowlands accompany the hikers to the charming village of Kohlern.

There awaits a special highlight: with the oldest cable car in the world, you float down to Bolzano in just a few minutes.
