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. Along the way, scenic spots like Rotenstein and Rotwand provide unforgettable photo opportunities and moments to pause.

In just a few minutes, it gently glides down to the South Tyrolean capital, offering sweeping views and a historic ride. Once in Bolzano, you can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the old town, with its arcades, cafés, and shops. The return journey is easy and comfortable by public bus.
