Dolomites World Heritage Geotrail II – from the Bletterbach to the Sexten Dolomites
A long-distance hiking trail through the fossilized marine landscape of the World Natural Heritage
In 2009, the Dolomites were included in the UNESCO World Heritage list due to their extraordinary landscape and geological value. This gave rise to the idea of designing a trekking route through the Dolomites that takes the hiker on a journey of discovery through the fascinating geological history of these mountains and helps them understand the reason for their extraordinary beauty.
The Dolomites World Heritage Geotrail explores the entire Dolomites World Heritage in 47 stages. 10 of these stages run through the South Tyrol Dolomites and lead through some of the most charming and geologically interesting mountain groups of the Bleichen Mountains. Wonderful panoramic views open up again and again, the journey along this trail is full of contrasts, and hiking on the well-marked and maintained paths is a unique experience.
The Geotrail is essentially a combination of a long-distance hiking trail and an educational path. The individual stages of this long-distance trail can also be hiked as day tours, whereby it is almost always possible to travel to and from the individual starting points with public transport. However, the challenge remains to explore the Geotrail in 10 days, to take the time to immerse yourself in a unique world full of secrets, and to escape for a while from our daily, scheduled world full of hustle and bustle.
