Set off on an enchanting summer hike through shady forests and blooming meadows to the prehistoric site of Enzbirch. The trail leads you through a vibrant summer landscape, where birdsong and the scent of herbs and flowers awaken your senses.
Enzbirch is a vegetation-covered hill that holds the remains of an ancient fortification. Here, you can step back in time and soak up the unique atmosphere of this historic site.
At the top, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Adige Valley. In summer, the landscape is lush and green, and the clear air offers stunning vistas of the valley and surrounding mountains.
