This relaxing panoramic circular hike around Deutschnofen is perfect for families and anyone who loves peaceful nature walks. The trail leads through open meadows, past traditional farms and along light woodland paths, always offering wide views of the Eggental valley and the surrounding mountains.
The distant Dolomite peaks provide a stunning backdrop, making it a memorable experience for both kids and adults. With minimal elevation gain, it’s ideal for beginners, families or those simply looking to enjoy a gentle walk. Along the way, Hotel Pfösl and Bar Luise invite you to take a restful break. A round tour to recharge and reconnect with nature!
The hike starts in the village centre of Deutschnofen (1,357 m). From the main square, head toward the roundabout at the village entrance and follow the road in the direction of Bolzano. Shortly after, you’ll reach a small chapel near Hotel Pfösl.
Here, turn left onto trail [6], which later merges into trail [P]. The route leads gently through meadows and past several traditional farms – including Haus Schlernblick, Weißbamer Hof and Bayrl Hof.
Continue in the direction of the Moser farms, cross the main road, and follow the Panorama Trail, which truly lives up to its name: breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains accompany this section.
The loop ends back at Hotel Pfösl, a perfect stop for refreshments, or a few minutes later at Bar Luise. The full tour takes about 2 to 2.5 hours with only around 50 metres of elevation gain – ideal for families and leisurely walkers.
Getting to the starting point of the tour by public transport is easy and convenient.
