From Maria Weißenstein through pastures into Bletterbach Gorge – a must for hikers, nature lovers, and those seeking cultural insight.

This hike offers a powerful blend of breathtaking nature and spiritual reflection. Starting at the famous pilgrimage site of Maria Weißenstein, hikers can take a moment of stillness at the monastery and explore the moving votive tablets that tell stories of hope and faith. The trail continues through quiet forests and picturesque alpine meadows, leading into the awe-inspiring Bletterbach Gorge. Often referred to as South Tyrol’s “Grand Canyon,” the gorge reveals dramatic rock layers, unique formations, and an open window into Earth’s geological past. Perfect for hikers who seek more than just scenery – this experience connects nature, culture, and soul in an unforgettable journey.
