• DOLOMITES TOUR: Brief description of a small tour through the Dolomites, starting in Brixen
  Starting from Brixen, take the route towards Plose and drive through St. Andrä and Afers, surrounded by beautiful scenery, up to Würzjoch at the foot of Peitlerkofel. The route continues over Untermoi and then downhill to St. Martin in the Gadertal. Via Stern and Corvara, you reach the pass road to Grödner Joch, where the impressive Sassongher and the Sella massif are striking. With the Langkofel in view, the journey continues into the Grödner Valley. Wolkenstein, St. Christina, and St. Ulrich, the well-known winter sports resorts of the Grödner Valley, are on the way. From St. Ulrich, the route goes up to Lajen and further to Gufidaun, from where it finally leads back to Brixen via Klausen.
  There is also the option of a guided Dolomites tour; if you do not want to drive your own car, you can contact a local travel agency during the summer months.
• FENNBERG VIA FERRATA: The Fennberg via ferrata starts in the Salurner Klaus and leads up to Fennberg. From the village of Margreid, follow the road downhill towards Rovere della Luna until you see the sign „Provincial border Bolzano/Trentino“. There, a sign on the right indicates the way to the start of the Fennberg via ferrata. In the surrounding area, there are other worthwhile via ferratas, including the Via Ferrata Rio Secco and the Via Ferrata Burrone near Mezzocorona.

• BLETTERBACH: Also known as the "Grand Canyon of South Tyrol", the Bletterbach Gorge is located at the foot of the Weisshorn near Radein. By car, you can reach the GEOPARC Bletterbach visitor center by turning 1 km after Aldein towards Lerch and following the signs. A large parking lot is located just below the visitor center. From there, the path continues on foot. We begin our descent into the gorge on path No. 3, follow the stream upwards to the Butterloch waterfall, and then return a bit to take the Jagersteig out of the stream bed to the viewing platform. From there, you can either continue up to the "Görz" (1,650 m above sea level) or follow the GEO path to the Lahner Alm. We choose the second option. After a short break at the Lahner Alm, a forest path takes us back to the parking lot at the visitor center. The Bletterbach Gorge is open from early May to autumn and is accessible from both Aldein (parking lot at the GEOPARC visitor center) and Radein (parking lot in front of the Peter-Rosegger-Haus, hiking trail No. 3). Good footwear and surefootedness are required. A small entrance fee is charged at the visitor center, and a rental helmet is included.
• WINE EDUCATIONAL TRAIL IN KURTATSCH: The 4 km long wine educational trail in Kurtatsch winds through the picturesque vineyards of the region and offers insights at many information stations into the growth of the vines, their needs, and protective measures necessary to achieve the quality standards for high-quality South Tyrolean wine. Visitors can admire various vine training systems, including the traditional pergola with wooden stakes and a leafy canopy, as well as more modern trellis systems. The wine educational trail begins at the main square in Kurtatsch, where it is well signposted: just follow the "Saltner Pratze", a large wooden hand, leading to a man-sized grape, the entrance to the theme trail. The path leads through the wine landscape past scent and information stations. Here, visitors can "sniff" the wine at amphoras, with scents of strawberries, almonds, and roses. After the hike towards Margreid, the wine educational trail leads back to the village center of Kurtatsch. The total walking time is about one hour.
