Beautiful high-altitude trail at the Rosengarten, leading from the Kölner hut to the Paolina hut and to the Christomannos monument.

This high-altitude trail at the Rosengarten | Catinaccio runs without significant elevation changes along one of the most panoramic routes in South Tyrol. From the Kölner | Fronza alle Coronelle hut, the stony and partly narrow Hirzel path leads to the Paolina hut and then on to the Christomannos monument. This 2.7-meter-tall bronze eagle commemorates the achievements of Austrian tourism pioneer Theodor Christomannos, who played a key role in the development of tourism in the region.
