Circular hike at the Taltbühl to the Totmoos and the wolf pit
This circular hike in Obergummer|San Valentino di Sopra, located in the municipality of Karneid|Cornedo all'Isarco, leads you through quiet forests, gentle hills and past two unique places: the natural landmark Totmoos, an idyllic pond-like biotope with water lilies, and the historic wolf pit, one of the last remaining of its kind in the region – a place full of history surrounded by greenery.
At the Totmoos biotope, benches invite you to take a relaxing break – perfect for a picnic in the heart of nature. For a more rustic experience, the nearby unmanaged forest hut offers a covered table and benches – ideal for a quiet pause.
Time and again, the trail opens up to panoramic views of the Rosengarten|Catinaccio massif, the Schlern|Sciliar and the Tiers|Tires Valley – a scenic hike that combines natural beauty with peaceful moments. Ideal for those who appreciate tranquillity.
Please note: There are no refreshment stops along the trail. However, during the summer months, you can make a detour to the malga Hagner hut to enjoy some food and drink.
Distance from the wolf pit to malga Hagner hut: 2.5 km – about 40 minutes on foot.
