This varied circular hike around Steinegg combines nature, small discoveries and a rewarding stop for local delights.
Right at the beginning you follow the Rittersteig Trail through deciduous and coniferous forests. If you like, you can also take a short detour to the cave dwelling Mortner Gufl, just 15 minutes off the main route, mysteriously built into the rock.
The trail then leads mostly through forests before climbing a little more steeply on trail [11] to the Wiedenhof farm inn. Here you can enjoy a cosy stop with regional specialities, and children will love the small petting zoo.
Refreshed, you continue gently along trail [8] back to Steinegg|Collepietra, where the loop closes. A hike that perfectly combines nature, history and South Tyrolean pleasures.
Refreshment options:
at Wiedenhof after 6.2 km (approx. 2.5 hours) from Steinegg|Collepietra via the Rittersteig trail
at the starting and finishing point in the village of Steinegg|Collepietra, you’ll find two village shops and several places to stop:
Gasthof Pizzeria Unterwirt
Hotel Berghang
Hotel Steineggerhof
