From Deutschnofen to Bolzano: hike with views, the world’s oldest cable car, and a city stroll. A perfect mix for nature and culture lovers.

This hike offers a rich blend of nature, history, and city charm. Starting in the peaceful village of Deutschnofen, the trail leads through quiet forests and across panoramic ridges with stunning views of the Dolomites and the valley below.
